Pelham Bay Park, Bronx, 5/5/13 8:00 AM- Noon It was a beautiful day for a walk in the park and the lack of migratory species didn't dampen the spirits of the fifteen lovely people that attended. We searched the area around the City Island traffic circle, an area called "The Meadow," Turtle Cove and Hunter Island. Birds were scarce but we did have many good looks at most species we saw.
