Spring birds in Central Park - 14th April

Spring has sprung,
the grass has riz,
I wonder where the birdies is?

 ...They're in Central Park! A nice morning walk in Central Park today, with lots of commoner migrants all over the shop. Northern Flickers were the most obvious, but other newcomers included Eastern Towhee, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Rusty Blackbird, Hermit Thrush, Winter Wren, Swamp Sparrow and Chipping Sparrow.

Rusty Blackbird. At least 3 along the gill today.
Common Grackle.
And to round out the day's blackbird contingent, this Red-winged Blackbird.
Northern Flickers were everywhere
Quite a few Eastern Towhees bouncing through the undergrowth
