I finally got to see the Connecticut Warbler at Trinity Church today. The weather kept it off the tombstones, but it was comfortable enough to get within 3' of us. #birdcpp #NaturePhotography #BirdsOfbluesky #wildlife #fallmigration #birds #nybirds #urbanbirding #trinitychurch

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
I was standing directly under this Red-tailed Hawk. She tolerated me because she was hunting a chipmunk in the tree, which was scrambling around the tree to avoid her.
She was magnificent.
I don't think she got her prey. But I left them to it after a few shots.

This is from last year, when I had some company during my 30 minute wait period following allergen immunotherapy. Someone said it’s a bearded hen turkey which I thought was pretty cool!
