The group met at the entrance to Central Park’s North Woods at 103rd Street and Central Park West. We started by reviewing use of binoculars, field guides, and field marks. We walked down to the north end of the Pool area, where we found a lot of bird activity, including Scarlet Tanagers and a Prairie Warbler, as well as Magnolia Warblers, Common Yellowthroats, and Northern Waterthrushes. We walked to the southern end of the Pool, and then proceeded into the Loch. We ended the walk a little after 11 am at the Loch Overlook, where we saw two Brown Thrashers.
