Central Park is our bailiwick, and March is the beginning of migration for land and water birds. A Pine or Palm Warbler is always possible. A couple of years ago, we respectfully observed a Long-eared Owl. During a recent winter a Long-tailed Duck and Horned Grebe visited the Reservoir. The feeders are an attraction for birds such as Purple Finch and other seed eaters. A Red-headed Woodpecker at the north end stayed into the spring recently. It is interesting to observe the transition.
