4. Early Birds | 7:30 a.m.
4. 早起的鳥兒 | 早晨7:30
Bird lovers know that daybreak is magical. In the Ramble, a more-than-30-acre maze of boulders and trees, birding is especially rewarding because, according to the Central Park website, it is on the Atlantic Flyway, a migration route that birds follow in the spring and fall. Walking its shady arteries, it’s easy to forget that this section of the park is almost entirely man-made: The running water in the stream can be turned on and off as if it were coming from a kitchen faucet. (For those who get a later start, the Central Park Conservancy offers kits with binoculars, maps, a guidebook and sketching materials that you can borrow at no charge at Belvedere Castle.)
愛鳥人士知道,黎明時分很是神奇。漫步區(Ramble)方圓30多英畝,是一座遍布著巖石與樹木的迷宮,在這里觀鳥收獲格外多,因為中央公園網站上說,該公園恰好位于亞特蘭大飛行之路上,而這條路線是大量鳥類每年春秋遷徙時的必經之路。走在綠蔭如蓋的主干道上,你很容易忘掉公園的這片區域其實基本是人造的,淙淙的溪水可以像廚房水龍頭一樣隨時打開或關閉。對于那些較晚出發的游人,中央公園保護區提供全套裝備,包括雙筒望遠鏡、地圖、旅行指南和素描材料,都可以在觀景城堡(Belvedere Castle)免費借用。
