Another picture of the Virginia Rail early Monday morning 10/6/2025 in the Verizon Plaza at 42nd Street NYC. There was no noisy crowd & we were standing still from a distance so this cutie came out to say hello to us. ❤️💙 #virginiarail #rails #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration

Virginia Rail in the Verizon Plaza at 42nd Street early this morning on 10/6/2025, surprisingly it was in the same planter with the Yellow-breasted Chat. The Rail came out to say goodbye as I turned to leave & head for work, lucky me! #virginiarail #rails #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration

This Budgie was waiting for me by Sparrow Rock @CentralParkNYC on Sunday 10/5/2025. What a beautiful bird! Funny that it’s there during Fall Migration! #budgie #Budgerigar #birds #birdwatching #lostpet #lostbird.#pets

Thank you so much! It was so dark where he was hiding underneath the brush inside the marsh that I almost didn’t see him. Tough to get pictures.

Green-Wood Cemetery on Sunday 9/21/2025: Through the filtering light I was able to capture this shot of a Magnolia Warbler actively foraging under the dense leafy canopy. I call this “Magnolia In Action”🤣😂 #magnoliawarbler #warblers #birds #birdwatching #wildlife #fallmigration

Encountered this Philadelphia Vireo in Green-Wood Cemetery on Sunday 9/21/2025. It’s incredible how fast he moves, blending in with the leaves & hiding underneath them, and always so high up on the trees! #philadelphiavireo #vireos #birds #birdwatching #wildlife #fallmigration

On my way out of Green-Wood Cemetery on Saturday before 7pm 9/20/2025 saw a little bird flitting around in the shadows. Here it is: adorable Chestnut-sided Warbler! I love them both in breeding & Fall plumage. #chestnutsidedwarbler #warblers #birds #fallmigration #birdwatching
