Slow Birding

On Sunday I went birding in the Ramble in Central Park. It was could and it sometimes drizzled a bit. My first stop was the Matinence Meadow. There I found a flock of about 15-20 CEDAR WAXWINGS. There was also a large flock of sparrows on the ground, consisting of HOUSE,WHITE THROATED, and SONG SPARROWS. Then, a female AMERICAN GOLDFINCH joined the flock. As I was looking at the flock of waxwings, I spotted a BROWN THRASHER. Other than that, I saw a PALM WARBLER, which I would see several of throughout the day, a BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER, and several flocks of migrating RED WINGED BLACKBIRDS. There wasn't mcuh to find anywhere else. I found a thrasher and a mixed sparrow flock at Duck Island, but other than that, not much. As we were about to leave I spotted a BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER on a tree. Then I noticed a second bird nearby. A fellow birder identified it as a PINE WARBLER. Just before we left, I saw a mixed flock of sparrows near a sleeping man. Looking throush the flock, I found a PALM WARBLER and a RUBY CROWNED KINGLET. This wasn't a very great day due to SW winds.
