Last week I led a nature walk in Central Park for the American Museum of Natural History’s Membership Department.
Even though I got rained on twice, there was a lot to see.
Here are some of the wild creatures that were in the park on Wednesday.
Turtles were basking in The Lake. Red-eared sliders are the most commonly seen.









You never know what you will find when you take a walk in the park, but… John Muir once said: “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
