Overcast and still in Central Park this morning, which enabled me to capture this Great Egret (and its reflection) on the Reservoir! I never tire of photographing these elegant herons!❤️❤️❤️#birdcpp #BirdTwitter

A wide variety of ducks on Central Park's Reservoir this morning, including this stunning Red-breasted Merganser. If you look closely, you can see that it has a serrated bill--useful for catching small fish! 🐟🐟🐟 #Merganser #CentralPark #birdcpp

What a beauty !

Beautiful contrast of colors- His Eye is brilliant, lovely capture 🧚‍♂️

Magnificent!

@davidlei @CentralParkNYC And little did I know it was Coyote Awareness Week. Very kind of Juliet to make an appearance!

@Above96th @CentralParkNYC Nice sighting of Juliet for Coyote Awareness Week!

🎉🎉🎉 It's always a celebration when I see one of Central Park's coyotes! It was casually strolling through the @CentralParkNYC's Nursery early this morning. What a beauty! 🐺🐺🐺 #Coyote #CentralPark #birdcpp

@BirdCentralPark thanks!

@Above96th Great find and photo!

@DeniseHenwood It came pretty close! Maybe 15 feet...

@Above96th I’m kinda scared for you.

Well, I captured a Red-tailed Hawk diving right at me this morning on Central Park's Harlem Meer. I'm not sure what it was after--the only thing I could see was a Red-winged Blackbird. But it gave me an image I've never captured before! 😍😍😍 #Hawks #CentralPark #birdcpp

@GawlinskiLaura @BirdCentralPark Thanks!

@Above96th @BirdCentralPark Freaking amazing shot❣️❣️

@rgfeal It was. I had no idea it would dive-bomb me--it happened so quickly. A little amazed I captured it at all.

@Above96th One of your best! Must be strange to have a hawk dive bomb in your general direction!

A Green-winged Teal swam close at Central Park's Pool, enabling me to get this detailed image of its plumage. Nature is amazing. 💚🤎💚 #Teal #CentralPark #birdcpp

Here's a short video of the Timberdoodle doing its dance! 💃💃💃 #Timberdoodle #BryantPark #birdcpp

🎉🎉🎉 The Timberdoodles are back!! Every year we have a few Woodcocks stop in Bryant Park--just a block from 42nd and Broadway! Just love these birds. ❤️❤️❤️ #Timberdoodle #BryantPark #birdcpp

I know there are loads of Sandhill Crane fans out there. You may have never seen a Sandhill Crane next to a Whooping Crane--check out how big the Whooper is! 😍😍😍 #Cranes #Texas #Birding

American Robins have returned to Central Park en masse. Amazingly, there were still some crabapples on the trees, which the Robins very much enjoyed. It's quite remarkable how easily they swallow them whole! 🍒🍒🍒 #Robins #CentralPark #birdcpp

@SnowleopardPaw I know! It's incredible.

@Above96th I had no idea that their wing span was that size!

Absolutely magical to see a magnificent Whooping Crane soar directly overhead at sunset. That's a seven-foot wingspan you're looking at! 🤍🖤🤍 #Cranes #Texas #BirdsSeenin2026

@romanewyork @BirdCentralPark I saw the image and thought it probably was yours -- nice shot!
