After nine years of birding in Central Park without seeing an Eastern Whip-poor-will, it's so great to see two this year! This one, seen in the Ramble, showed even better views than one seen in the Spring! #birdcpp #BirdsOfbluesky #CentralPark #wildlife #centralparkbirds #birds #fallmigration

I meant to post this the other day as six years ago, on 9/18/19, Central Park birders had unparalleled views of this American Bittern, which spent the entire day on this rock in Tupelo Meadow. #birdcpp #BirdsOfbluesky #CentralPark #wildlife #centralparkbirds #fallmigration #birds #naturephotography

A relatively slow day in Central Park birdwise today, but this Eastern Wood-Pewee, Prairie Warbler and Red-eyed Vireo managed to capture my attention. #birdcpp #NaturePhotography #BirdsOfTwitter #CentralPark #wildlife #centralparkbirds #fallmigration #birds #nybirds #urbanbirding

This floof of a Northern House Wren was seen at the Compost Heap of Central Park today. Defensive posture, or, with a chill in the air, suggesting winter is coming?

Thanks! What's great is we have a lot of knowledgeable birders here and there's a good system of reporting birds.

A nice sunset tonight. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be losing part of my view of the supertalls on 57th St. as that building going up (notice the crane) on 82nd & 3rd will be 478'. I think I'll lose at least half of the tallest one and left of it. That's life in the city... #sunsets #nyc

Another bird I missed this spring was the Tennessee Warbler, so it was nice to check that box today with this one, seen at the Wildflower Meadow, in Central Park. #birdcpp #NaturePhotography #BirdsOfbluesky #CentralPark #wildlife #centralparkbirds #fallmigration #birds #nikon

I missed a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher this spring, so it was nice to see one in the Ramble of Central Park today. That, as well as a bathing Louisiana Waterthrush. #birdcpp #NaturePhotography #BirdsOfbluesky #CentralPark #wildlife #centralparkbirds #fallmigration #birds #nikon #birdsseenin2025

A quick stop at Hammonasset Beach State Park, in Madison, Connecticut, last Thursday, yielded a Saltmarsh Sparrow and Yellow Warbler with a beakful of insects for its young. #birds #birdsofbluesky #nikon #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birdnerd #birding #birdsseenin2025 #springmigration

This Ovenbird, seen at the Pool in Central Park, was all one-legged relaxy thinking it was hidden from prying eyes, but I found a window... #birdcpp #NaturePhotography #BirdsOfTwitter #CentralPark #wildlife #centralparkbirds #BirdsSeenIn2025 #springmigration #birds #nikon #urbanbirds #urbanbirding
