You don't need a lot of teeth to be a Central Park birdwatcher


Meet Liliana Speiser, one of Central Park's youngest birders, and, by her expression, one of the most enthusiastic.If she gets as good at birding as her father David -- and she's starting young -- she should be a whiz one of these days.
