Birding In New York City
The New York Times just ran an article on bird watching in Central Park Bird-Watchers in Central Park Flock to the Ramble – NYTimes.com.
Contrary to what many people think New York City can be a very rewarding place for bird-watchers. Spring migration is the busiest time for birders in New York when over 200 species go through the city (check the Rhythms of Season graph accompanying the article).
Central Park is also the scene of the popular memoir about birding Red Tails in Love: A Wildlife Drama in Central Park by Marie Winn.
The New York Times is currently running a Bird Week with a series of articles on birding:
