This was the second Birds & Brews walk of the spring migration season. After starting at 81st
Street and Central Park West,we walked over to the Shakespeare Garden and up to Belvedere Castle, where we had some good looks at several warbler species, including Black-throated Green and Northern Parula. We also had a bonus Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
Walking around Turtle Pond, we saw several additional species. At the dock, we had great looks at a Black-throated Blue Warbler, first of the year for many in the group!
Central Park never disappoints, and a great walk was had by all. Afterward, several of us went to a local restaurant for some snacks and libations.
