This was the first Birds & Brews walk of the spring migration season. We started at 72nd Street and split into two groups. One group looked through Strawberry Fields and the other headed over to the south side of the Lake, where we had a quick view of a Waterthrush and a Swamp Sparrow.
After wandering into the Ramble, we saw some great birds, including four species of woodpeckers, a Brown Creeper, and several warbler species. Central Park never disappoints,
and a great walk was had by all.
After the walk several of us went to a local bar for some snacks and libations.
