It is such a thrill to see male Northern Flickers jousting! Usually this is done when the males are trying to impress a nearby female. (Look for flashes of yellow-shafted feathers.) One of my absolute favorite birds!❤️💛❤️ #Flickers #CentralPark #birdcpp

Only @ABT could both send out brochure announcing summer season ticket sale starting in 3 days that does not include ticket costs (& prices not on website for nonsubscribers) AND give casting in brochure that differs from casting currently showing on website 'Master Calendar.'

Eurasian eagle-owl perched above the massive concrete counterweights of a tall crane. Reminded me a lot of a Eurasian eagle-owl who liked to perch on construction equipment. ❤️🦉 (Last month in Madrid)

Wildlife authorities have examined Manhattan's only White-tailed Deer and it seems to be healthy despite a bit of 'road rash' and it has been well-behaved with respect to humans. So for now it gets to stay in Fort Washington Park. 🦌

Good morning from Central Park! Say hello to my FOS(first of the season) Zebra Nuthatch....ok, officially known as a Black&White Warbler. Objectively one of the most dapper migrants we are lucky to get in abundance. Welcome to NYC and safe travels to you my little friend! 💕

This Osprey grabbed a catfish for takeout lunch at Central Park's Harlem Meer. #birdcpp

Wow! And mwaaa😘 to all the volunteers out there protecting plovers and educating NYers about sharing the shore.

So…this happened today. Scarface & Brooke in Central Park #BirdTwitter #wildlifephotography #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birdcpp #birdcpnyc #biodivercity #naturephotography #birdphotography

🎉🎉🎉omg, I captured two male Northern Flickers in a 'fencing duel' early this morning in Central Park! The males bob and weave while I prospective mate looks on. I've only seen this once before--and never captured it this well! 🥰🥰🥰 #Flickers #CentralPark #birdcpp

Captured a romantic moment between these Northern Cardinals in Central Park this morning. This is a sign of affection you generally only see during courtship. 💕💕💕 #cardinals #centralpark #birdcpp

Can anyone in Central Park help this blue jay? Lamp post 7221B. It needs to be safely contained and brought to the clinic. We are open until 7pm.

Immediately grabbed my camera upon seeing this Red-tailed Hawk perched atop the water holder tank outside my window. Prior to this shot, a male showed up and witnessed them mating, sorry no images. New York City. #birdcpp #nature photography #nature #wildlife
