After a pleasant morning in Central Park with fairly good activity at the Point, I headed for Fuch's pond, where I entered the rare echelon of birders who missed the prothonotary warbler three separate times. I thereupon headed to Sunken Meadow park for a stroll on the boardwalk with my wife. I did get some consolation, however. At the conclusion of our stroll, we reached the snack bar concession at the east end of the boardwalk. A northern bobwhite began calling, and was initially spotted by others in the nearby shrubbery. Eventually, the bird meandered to within 3 feet of the railing west of the concession. See photos and a short video at the link below:
