At the start of an otherwise uneventful walk through the Ramble at about 9:15am, I saw a crow high in a tree just SE of Maintenance. Thought nothing of it until, as I was exiting the meadow, I heard a very nasal "ung! ung!". I turned around and the crow gave another quick pair of adenoidal caws and flew off north. So, a Fish Crow in Central Park, I haven't seen that often. Otherwise, no Redpoll at Evodia this morning, alas; lots of Goldfinches on the ground in Mugger's Woods, quite charming.
Getting off the subway at Bryant Park about 10:15, I decided to try my luck with the Ovenbird that's been occasionally reported since early autumn, and it obligingly came out of the shrubs at the extreme NW corner of the park for a brief viewing.
