A large turnout of birders enjoyed a warm spring morning for the second spring migration walk of the year. Birders split into four groups and set out to explore Central Park. Highlights included a Blue-headed Vireo and Rusty Blackbird, both much appreciated by the group. Other spring arrivals helped round out the morning, and by the end of the walk a combined total of 54 species were observed.
