In the Pinetum there were still plenty of both Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets, as well as many Dark-eyed Juncos, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, several Hermit Thrush, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch and a Brown Creeper.

Central Park - 4th Nov
A beautiful autumn morning in Central Park, so I spent an hour or so before classes circumnavigating the reservoir (with a small detour into the Pinetum). Best birds were the 8 Buffleheads (6 male, 2 female) and 7 Hooded Mergansers (3 male, 4 female). A male Wood Duck was very nice, and nearby was my first American Coot of autumn. Also present were the usual crop of Ruddy Duck, Gadwall, Shoveller, Mallard, Canada Goose, Double-crested Cormorant, Herring Gull, Ring-billed Gull and Great Black-backed Gull.
