The group met at the entrance to Central Park’s North Woods at 103rd Street and Central Park West. After going over some basic information about using binoculars, finding birds, and looking for field marks, we walked down to the north end of the Pool area, where we found a lot of bird activity. We stayed in that one spot for over an hour, looking for birds and calling out field marks. Eventually, we moved to the southern end of the Pool, where we ended the walk with good looks at three Gadwalls.
