I've made countless visits to the East Pond over many years and it would
seem that I've seen it all. But I ran into two surprises today. I'm not sure
that I've never seen one, and think I've heard that they were there, but the
sight of a Snapping Turtle emerging along the edge of the water and,
Central Park NYC
Sunday Aug. 14, 2016
OBS: Robert DeCandido, PhD, Deborah Allen, m.ob. on bird walk starting from the
Boathouse Cafe at 9am
Definitely fewer birds today and less diversity than on Saturday - 5 species of
Wood Warblers, Scarlet Tanager & Yellow-billed Cuckoo (2) the highlights.
