Welcome to another Central Park baby



Yes, this is still Central Park Nature News!

Nathaniel Gow Lam, born on June 5, 2005 is the first child of Anne O'Connor and Ed Lam. Ed, an artist, is also one of Central Park's most accomplished naturalists. He did the artwork on the C.P. Conservancy's much-loved nature guides--The Birds of Central Park and The Butterflies of Central Park. He is the author of the unique Damselflies of the Northeast published last year by Biodiversity Books and available through his website listed on the Links page of this website. This is a book that E.O.Wilson called "a little masterpiece". And indeed it is.

He is one of the regular Central Park [non-maternal] Mothers. For those unfamiliar with this slightly stale joke, in that last sentence Mothers rhymes with Authors. We looks at moths.
