The walk began at 103rd street and Central Park West, after a discussion about how to use binoculars, what types of movement to look for, and how to describe the location of a bird in a tree. We walked down to the Pool, around the Willow, and through the Loch, turning around at Huddlestone Arch, and walking back through the Ravine. It was a very pleasant, low key introduction to birding.
