My encounter on 12/13/2025 at Montauk Point on Long Island with the Cassin’s Sparrow, the ultra rare bird found by the awesome Max Epstein on 12/6/2025. This is only the 2nd reported in NY State; we are all thankful to him for this great find! #cassinssparrow #sparrows #birds #rarebird #birdwatching

Dutchess NY: Cackling Goose amongst hundreds of Canada Geese, but I found it so it’s not a wild goose chase! With a little bit of snow on the bill…what a cutie! #cacklinggoose #geese #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

One of the many Bonaparte’s Gulls seen from Jones Beach on Long Island. Incredible seeing how they kept diving into the water like the Northern Gannets foraging for food. #bonapartesgull #gulls #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

On this cold & windy day by The Pool in Central Park there is really not much to see just the usual so I was happy to photograph the Northern Shoveler. Take a close look at the riot of colors on his plumage; he is incredibly gorgeous! #northernshoveler #birds #dabbingduck #birdwatching #wildlife

A few pictures of a beautiful Red-tailed Hawk at The Loch in Central Park on Tuesday 11/11/2025. First she flew in front of me clutching a bird, which she ate within minutes! #redtailedhawk #hawks #birdofprey #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

Male Green-winged Teal in Central Park Pool on Tuesday 11/11/2025. It was an extremely windy & cold day, not much sun so the park was pretty quiet. I was very happy to see the 5 Teals in the Pool! #malegreenwingedteal #greenwingedteal #teals #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

Tundra Bean Goose in Beaver Lake, Long Island on Saturday 11/8/2025; a lifer for me. The Goose was all the way by the other side of the lake so could not get a good view or good picture so I am happy I managed to get a few IDable ones. #tundrabeangoose #beangoose #rarebird #birds #birdwatching

On Election Day, 11/4/2025 I encountered this cute Pine Warbler in Owl’s Head Park in Brooklyn, which eBird marks it as RARE, because it should’ve already migrated. #pinewarbler #warblers #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration #wildlife
