Bald Eagle in Croton this Saturday afternoon. #birdcpp

So lucky to encounter this Red Fox in the Bronx today. It was nearly hit by a car while crossing the street— a reminder that our world and our city are still extremely hostile to our wild neighbors.

Join NYC Parks Rangers to watch Bald Eagles from Riverdale Park on Sunday February 15 at 11 am. nycgovparks.org/events/2026/02…

About 100 ring neck ducks are currently at Croton Gorge Park Dam along with a pair of tufted ducks. Good luck trying to tell them apart

A LeConte's sparrow seen on Saturday at Croton Point Park, Westchester county. Only my second time to see one, this bird breeds across central Canada & the upper Midwest and winters in the south-central United States. #lecontessparrow

Croton point park is very lively on the low path and on the hill the snow is frozen enough to support my weight but do still be very careful:) sapsucker, goldfinch, ruby crown kinglet, and horned larks @BirdCentralPark @wildnewyorkshow
