I take photos of birds and bugs mostly on Long Island, NY. I play keyboards and I write software for them too! But here, it's mostly about the photos. No AI at all (not even for noise removal).

Connecticut Warbler
Caumsett SP, Long Island, NY

Originally I had it as a Nashville but a bunch of people correct my ID. Connecticut it is. Which is very cool, as I see them way less often than Nashville.

Red-breasted Nuthatch
Robert Moses SP, Long Island, NY

This is the other nuthatch we get here on Long Island. While the White-breasted is much more common, we also get the Red-breasted.

Pine Warbler
Long Island, NY

Pine warblers are around Long Island but they always hide when I try to find them. This one is the first I've seen since 2023.

White-crowned Sparrow

I don't see these ones too often, glad I caught one during migration time.

Herons are funny looking evolved dinosaurs. Always nice to see them.

Scarce in my patch but once in a while one shows up.

Beautiful sparrow if I may say.

Bobolink (Female or immature male)
Sunken Meadow SP, Long Island, NY
Not common on Long Island but we can get them during migration. Always in the grasses, not easy to get a clear picture.

This is a female or immature Indigo Bunting.
The interesting thing, to me, is that the wing bars are pretty white, when normally they are more brown. I guess there are variations in the color of those wing bars.
