It was a beautiful fall day for the Central Park fall migration series. Birders split into three groups of approximately 10 participants each and explored Strawberry Fields, Hernshead, The Ramble, and the area south of Turtle Pond. The day started slowly, with few birds observed in Strawberry Fields. Activity increased in The Ramble, where Evodia Field proved to be the most productive spot of the day.
