New York - October (2 Viewers)

[Zac Hinchcliffe]

Hi Everyone.
Next October (08) I may be going to New York on a family Holiday, I shall try to get as much birding done as possible, but most of this will have to be confined to Central park - Any advice?

Zac,
Go to the "Your Local Patch" forum. Scroll down to Pinewoods, "A Rank Beginner in New York, New York" patch. Go to the last page, see Jos Stratford's very recent thread #482 and click where it says "click here" at the end of his post. It's an excellent report on his recent birding trip to Central Park. In fact the reports in the patch are mostly about Central Park birding.

Have a nice vacation!
Bob

Shucks, thanks very much

It is also worth looking at this website by Phil Jeffrey which gives a season by season view of the park.
