Flashy Birds in the Ramble


Scarlet Tanager in Central Park

Still great birding in Central Park, though perhaps a little less variety and fewer numbers than yesterday. But the trifecta of Flashy Birds was won this morning by Steve Quinn's Anerican Museum of Natural History 7:00 a.m. walk: Scarlet Tanager, Rosebreasted Grosbeak and Baltimore Oriole. Add to that an Indigo Bunting, a number of Chestnut sided, Magnolia, Canada, Wilson's warblers, all seen from the ramparts of the Castle. Awe inspiring.
