Central Park Ramble

Lori and I were down in NYC this weekend and got a bit of birding in.  High winds made it a little tricky, but there were a lot of birds, even if they weren't easy to see.

Good views of American Redstarts (found by Lori) and lots of Black throated Blues.

The highlight was a bird we had never even heard of; the Chuck-will's-widow

It was motionless and blending into the trunk of a tree.  I never would have seen it, but there was a large group of birders pointing it out.

It looked more like a reptile to me.  Interesting bird.
