Forty-three participants were greeted by singing birds and bright flowers on our first spring migration bird walk of 2022. Despite it being early in the season, we saw 63 species, including a Yellow-throated Warbler, two Ring-necked Ducks, a Great Horned Owl, and a Red-throated Loon, birds not commonly seen in Central Park. We split into four groups and visited Strawberry Fields, Hernshead, the Ramble, Belvedere Castle, Turtle Pond, and the Reservoir.
