Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) at the Central Park Nursery today (30Mar26). Heavy streaking converging into that central breast spot, plus a crisp, variable song—classic early-spring presence tucked into the understory. #birdcpp #nikonphotography #birdnerd

Pine Warbler (Setophaga pinus) by the Central Park Nursery today (30Mar26). Brightness varies—males can glow yellow, but many (and females) show a much duller olive wash, making ID a subtle game of tones rather than flash.#birdcpp #nikonphotography #birdnerd

Groundhog (Marmota monax) along the creek by the Davis Center in Central Park yesterday (29 Mar 2026). NYC’s largest native rodent—true hibernator, emerging lean and hungry, already scouting fresh greens along the water’s edge.#centralpark #justnerd #nikonphotography

Back for a second look at the lingering American Woodcock (Scolopax minor) aka the Timberdoodle in Bryant Park today (11Mar26). Finally clean full-body views of this secretive migrant. Amazing camouflage for probing leaf litter for worms. #birdcpp #birdnerd #nikonphotography

American Woodcock(Scolopax minor)in Bryant Park today(10Mar26)These odd birds migrate at night,hunt earthworms with long flexible bills,and have eyes set high on their heads for nearly 360° vision.Always wild finding one right in the middle of Manhattan during migration.#birdcpp

Long-eared Owl(Asio otus) today (10feb26)in Central Park. Master of camouflage,this species roosts in dense conifers and relies on stillness and patterning more than concealment.Always striking to see such a well-adapted nocturnal hunter in the heart of the city. #birdcpp #nikon

Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii) on the Great Lawn in Central Park today (23Jan26). Noted for small size, short neck, steep forehead, stubby bill, and compact body among Canada Geese—classic structure worth a second look.#birdcpp #nikonphotography #birdnerd

Horned Larks (Eremophila alpestris) are specialists of open, windswept landscapes, perfectly camouflaged against sand and sparse grass and tough enough to thrive in winter. Sunday, 4Jan26, at the Jones Beach Coast Guard Station.#birdnerd #nikonphotography #birdsoflongisland

Bullock’s Oriole (Icterus bullockii) today (4jan26) at St. Mary’s school in East Islip, NY. A western vagrant and a lifer for me—and my first bird of 2026. Absolutely thrilled to kick off the year this way. #nikonphotography #birdnerd #lifer #birdlongisland

Ongoing Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica)today(29Nov25)at Carl Schurz Park in NYC—one that’s drifted off its southern migratory route and is catching insects inside the screened-in scaffolding on the building across the street. Urban birding at its finest. #birdcpp

Barn Owl (Tyto alba) in Central Park today(28Nov25).This species uses a heart-shaped facial disc and asymmetrical ears to hunt almost entirely by sound,detecting hidden prey.Silent flight and deep black eyes,a pleasant Black Friday surprise. #birdcpp #nikonphotography #birdnerd

A surprising late Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica) today (23Nov25) in Carl Schurz Park. These southern breeders rarely linger this late in NYC—showing how fruit and mild pockets can help out-of-range migrants hang on into late fall.#birdcpp #birdnerd #nikonphotography

Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) at Harsimus Cemetery in Jersey City last weekend. Even perched quietly, this bold gray resident stands out — a watchful mimicker known to copy dozens of calls when it feels like showing off.#birdnerd #birdnj #nikonphotography

Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) today (23Nov25) feeding in a crabapple tree by the balancing rock just north of the Pool in Central Park. Late lingerers rely on fruit when insects fade—one reason these crabapples are vital winter habitat. #birdcpp #birdnerd #nikonphotography
