What’s a Dog For? » newyorknaturegroup

A guide was leading a nature tour by The Pond, perhaps headed for the nearby Hallett Nature Sanctuary, one of the park's hidden gems. Here he was identifying a dogwood tree.

I took an early evening detour to Central Park and stopped by The Pond, a serene spot made famous (sort of) by Holden Caulfield, who stops here in The Catcher In the Rye and asks where the ducks go in the winter.
A gray catbird was hopping around under a few park benches. I didn't get to hear any of its vocalizations and I couldn't see the rusty patch under its tail, but it was fun to watch it mingling with similarly scavenging sparrows..
