Thirty-four participants explored Central Park with good humor and congeniality. Strawberry Field was fairly active to start the morning, and the Ruby-crowned Kinglets were out in force. There was some drama when an American Kestrel dove on a Northern Flicker.Additionally, a Scarlet Tanager and Yellow-Billed Cuckoo brightened the day for all who saw them.
