That’s a very accurate way to describe it lol

Central Park is kind of a birding bucket list for me; even though I abhor big cities and crowded places. If you haven't already, I *highly* recommend watching the documentary "Birding: The Central Park Effect" - it's outstanding.

You will despise the traveling to Central Park part, but probably enjoy the being in Central Park part!

Glad you guys got to visit! I live in NYC and its my first spring migration since I really started birding. I've made a couple trips from the Bronx down to Central Park. Totally worth it for the birds, but it may be at the detriment to my college finals.

That’s probably accurate lol we hope you’re enjoying your first migration though! You’re probably getting a ton of lifers!

Watching this on my way back to WI. Lmao at the rat lifer and “that’s a lot of sapsuckers” 😂 Great video as always guys!

I don't have a bucket list but if I did it would include birding Central Park. I was introduced to it when I read Red Tails in Love.

Looks like it’s time to start one!

I love birding in Central Park - late April-early May 2019 was one of my most memorable birding experiences ever, with 25+ warbler species seen, plus countless other great species. Glad you've done a video about this place. I took a lot of species-specific videos in CP last spring, when I wasn't able to be there for as long but still got some great birds. Never been early enough for Louisiana Waterthrush, so pretty envious on that one. Amazingly we've had three American passerines in the UK this year (maybe more, but I've seen three): Northern Waterthrush, Myrtle Warbler and Dark-eyed Junco. Of course, I've seen tons of them in the US.

Gorgeous!!! Central Park is downright mythical

So funny that I was there only a week ago! I saw a black crowned night heron at the end of my Central Park trip which was so cool to see and one of my goal species, can’t wait to watch this🙌

Very cool! NJ is great, I am going to the Cape May spring festival next week. If you ever make your way back to NY, Marshlands in Rye and Croton Point Park up in Westchester are some solid hot spots. The Hudson Valley area is pretty amazing to visit as well with all the habitats along the Hudson. Anyway, I love watching your videos guys, always fun and informative! All the best...

Visit the NJ pine barrens.

@BadgerlandBirding

Ай бұрын

What cool birds live in the barrens? And are we guaranteed a New Jersey Devil encounter?

You have to come back during peak spring migration to get the real CPK experience.

Very interesting to see the birds in that place, it is well known that you can see many species there, I even follow the channel of a lady who always films in that place. Birds in certain urban parks are abundant; When I travel to Buenos Aires I go to large parks or the ecological reserve, similar in size to the Central Park, with the difference that it is an abandoned polder on the River Plate, where the vegetation slowly colonized the place, with records of about 300 species in the 40 years of its existence

I don’t know when you’ll next visit, but Prospect Park in Brooklyn is much better than Central Park for birding, in my opinion
