It was a sunny and cool day to start, later warming up to about 68 degrees, with a slight west breeze. Most leaves on the trees were still green and quite dense. For six hours twenty-one of us searched the north end of Central Park. We spent some time at the end of the walk looking for a Pin-tailed Whydah that had been reported for several days, but it was not seen on this day. We ended with a total count of 51 species of birds.
