Imagine my surprise when this diminutive, perfectly camouflaged Winter Wren came within four feet me at the Pool today!

A last-minute gig at an Indian restaurant on 37th Street in NYC just blocks from my house! And the food was soooo delicious 🧡

Hard to believe how close this warbler approached the paparazzi at Trinity Church Cemetery ❤️
I’m so happy and proud to say that I finally made a pin up for New York City Photographers on Facebook for this month 🧡
A very “un-shy” Connecticut warbler found in the Trinity Church graveyard today (and the last few days.) It’s just a small stretch of land that you might think was an unlikely bird haven…you’d be wrong 🧡

A fantastic night with the John Lang Quartet at Winnie’s Jazz Bar featuring John Lang on bass, James Austin on piano and Brian Floody on drums 🧡

Just a little of ”Autumn in New York.”
I saw this gorgeous Red-bellied Woodpecker by the Rustic Shelter just before Laupot Bridge today 🧡

Verizon Plaza is a thin area stretching between 41st @ 42nd St. just west of 6th Ave. This Yellow-breasted Chat has been frustrating and delighting photographers there for the last five days. The eyering and supercilium (eyebrow) make it quite distinguishable from the Common Yellowthroat.

What a blessing all of our little NYC parks are for these birds in need of a respite. A Common Yellowthroat, an Ovenbird, and a Grey Catbird all in Bryant Park today 💚

Cuteness alert! In Bryant Park today, just north of Joe’s coffee… a Common Yellowthroat and an Ovenbird just inches from me 🧡

Between reading John Muir Law’s book on drawing birds and Amy Tan‘s ‘Backyard Bird Chronicles’ plus getting my iPad back from the shop, I decided to start drawing again.
