From now on I’m only designing recipes that call for the “really bad” olive oil.

@altonbrown That’s Cap’n Crunch to you.

I just cut up four slim Jim’s into a mixing bowl of captain crunch, heavy cream and bourbon, topped with mini marshmallows because….you know why.

@davidlei Spectacular!

It was a great privilege to see this stunningly beautiful barn owl in Central Park again Sunday night. It had been about a month since we last saw it very briefly. This time, I was able to observe it hunting for ~10 minutes. Cont’d. #birdcpp #birds #birding #nature #wildlife

@lotuswinnielee @bryantparknyc As always, Lotus, you get the best pictures!

The Yellow-breasted Chat was giving us a inquisitive look. 😂🤣💕🥰😍@bryantparknyc on Sunday 9/15/2024. #yellowbreastedchat #chat #birdwatching #fallmigration

@lotuswinnielee You will manage with your eagle eye! (And that long camera lens.)

Out birding and forgot my bins!! 😭😢

@lotuswinnielee Lovely!

@davidlei @jacquelineUWS Nice cover!

Thank you to everyone who encouraged us to write a book about Flaco! @jacquelineUWS and I are delighted to announce that Finding Flaco: Our Year with New York City's Beloved Owl is now available for pre-order on Kickstarter. (Cont'd) Link: kickstarter.com/projects/flaco…

@lotuswinnielee Safe travels!

Goodbye New York! 👋👋

@BirdQueens Thank you!!

@MLSandline Excellent photo!

Too many Flamingo pics? Impossible. Have to share the delight in seeing this remarkable bird, New York State’s likely first ever, out on Long Island with @lotuswinnielee yesterday. 🦩#americanflamingo #pinkbird #hamptons

@MerriamWebster Could the sign as easily say “Active Lawn - No Passive Sports”? But really, yes, seems redundant or at least puzzling. Which non-active sports are permitted?

Help us settle an office debate: is 'active sports' redundant?

@lotuswinnielee Wow, Lotus, amazing!!

My love for Owls💚🦉❤️Now this is epic, an angel appeared in the sky! On the last day of my trip to Delaware I encountered this beautiful light colored Barn Owl on my way home, absolutely phenomenal!! Sky was dark and gloomy so light was very bad but I am so happy! #barnowl #owl

Yesterday’s #WorldMigratoryBirdsDay had me birding from a chair in the yard with a broken toe :-( but happy to see this l’il Yellow Warbler darting and singing.

@lotuswinnielee Which lifer?

Day two of my Cape May adventure with my 2 AWESOME friends, and here they are! Celebration of another marvelous day & my lifer bird with Mojitos & Cape May IPA in Two Miles Landing Crab House😆😁😆 #birdingtrip #capemaybirding

Skulky Swainson’s Warbler emerged from an afternoon spent in the leaf clutter in Brooklyn Bridge Park and perched on a branch for a few seconds to sit for its backlit portrait. @BirdBrklyn

@lotuswinnielee Wowowow!

This is epic!!! IN SEARCH OF HOOPOE, or is HOOPOE IN SEARCH OF ME? Incredible experience in Lisbon, Portugal: This was one of my target birds. He kept coming up to me as I kept moving back. Could’ve put him in my pocket! I was sooo lucky!! #hoopoe #birdwatching #wildlife

@PGourevitch Wild! I’m told it was felt in Poughkeepsie as well!

@baggins_bow White Wagtail, London, UK

Tell me your latest life bird. Even better if you have a pic Mine is Black-throated Gray Warbler. No pic 😅
