A lovely spring morning in Central Park produced twenty migrating warblers, including the elusive Mourning Warbler that was seen by one of our participants. The Ramble echoed with the flute-like songs of Swainson’s and Wood Thrushes, while nesting Downy Woodpeckers, American Robins and Blue Jays were mostly silent. Turtle Pond was busy with breeding Red-winged Blackbirds and Eastern Kingbirds as a lone Great Egret sporting its fine white plumes rested on a rock.
