A life bird!
Hello all,
Yesterday, the morning temperature was -11ºC, today it was -2ºC. By the time, I got to Central Park, it felt positively pleasant.
Sunday, I did see cedar waxwings. Monday and Tuesday, the wood ducks were back on the lake, as well a peculiar hybrid. Today, there were no wood ducks.
Mourning doves, northern cardinals, downy woodpeckers, the occasional red bellied woodpecker, grackles, brown creepers, nuthatches, fox sparrows, goldfinches, house finches, and those orioles are still to be seen. On Monday, a pine warbler, in very drab colours, turned up on the path.
Then I saw a brown headed cowbird, a bird which is hardly well favoured by most bird watchers. I spotted another one near Strawberry Fields, yesterday. On Tuesday, I spotted a life bird, an American tree sparrow.
Today's other good bird was a yellow bellied sapsucker

Happy bird watching,
