This very curious female cardinal grace me with her presence for about 15 minutes. I feel very lucky and promise I will be posting far too many pictures of her later. #birds

A female cardinal regards to me curiously. She is looking me in the eye over her bright orange red beak.

The sky seemed to have dumped a ton of thrushes into Central Park Thursday- most of which were Hermit like this one here. #birds

Now I know your opinion on geese, but I’m curious your opinion of cormorants 🧐

This may be beyond a beakful at this point…. #birdoftheday #birds it took a while, but he got this bad boy down in one big gulp.

Double crested cormorant with a huge ass fish in the Hudson River. After he ate this fish he looked quite heavy sitting on the water.

A Jamaican endemic, a beauty! Local name is “Old Man Bird” because its call sounds like an old man clearing his throat. One of four cuckoos species on the island, two endemic.

Warbler season quickly turning to sparrow season. Mostly yellow rumped warblers today like this cutie. #birds

I had to isolate this part of the picture otherwise it was too hard to find the yellow rumped warbler in the dying leaves

There’s a man in Central Park who feeds what must be 100 doves plus some others every morning before he leaves he puts peanut butter on the trees for the squirrels and woodpeckers. It’s pretty amazing.

Amazing influx of winter wrens last night. The floor of the ramble was covered in these little bird mice. #birds

Kelsey Lagunas @kelseyelagunas.bsky.social · 1d

Yes the downy woodpecker is hugging the tree. It has peanut butter on it 😂 #birds I was not the peanut butter dispenser

I believe you have a blue headed vireo there! Grey blue head, thick white spectacles, white wing bars. Awesome find!

We’ve quite messed things up in past years I can’t imagine what it was like back then with 3 billion more birds. Glad we’re making steps in the right direction at least!

Today’s #birdoftheday is a Kestrel. This Northern American male Kestrel loves to haunt the saltwater marsh by me, resulting in hours of killdeer screams. Haunting! #birds

This small falcon is actually perched on top of a school right now. There is an elementary school next to a garden and a saltwater marsh.

If you go looking for American dippers at Le Hardy Rapids on the Yellowstone River on an Autumn afternoon, you can find the water catching the colors of the leaves on the far bank.🪶
