Photos from the Central Park Outing 3/15

Our intrepid group went from Gray’s Papaya over to Central Park in search of signs of Spring. We found lots of snowdrops, crocuses, and daffodils, plus a few others we couldn’t identify. And plenty of birds to be seen and heard throughout our walk to the Lake, Sheep Meadow, down to the Pond, back to the Mall, the Ramble, and Belvedere Castle.



We haven’t seen this in many years: Winter photos from Harriman

Glen shared these great photos from his winter trip to Harriman’s Lake Tiorati. He reported that the lake was frozen over and the park allowed ice fishing for several weeks! It’s been many years since the last ice event.

Only a couple of months until Camp Nawakwa opens for the season!
