A rare vagrant Rufous Hummingbird reported today in Wave Hill in the Bronx, north of the Hudson River overlook. Expect area birders to be visiting it, which will help in finding it.

Barred Owl yesterday afternoon in Van Cortlandt Park- mobbed by Blue Jays. We were hiking not birding so this was a surprise! Bramble? Cell phone pic. #birdcpp

A lifer for me. With @wapogipo928 at NYBG. The harvester butterfly. The caterpillars are carnivorous. The adults drink aphid "honeydew", tree sap, and mineral-rich fluids from mud, dung and carrion. Lighting difficult but I made do. A huge thanks to @ElizabethP501 and @HK7682

At NY Botanical Garden (Sept 16): Harvester Butterfly, the only carnivorous butterfly caterpillar in North America. The slug-like caterpillars use sharp, pointed mouthparts to impale woolly aphids and suck out their body fluids. The vampire of the butterfly world! #birdcpp

Two YELLOW WARBLERS in our yard here in the Bronx (Morris Park Ave area in 10462 zip). They are looking for arthropods in the butterfly bush planted by Deborah Allen @DAllenNYC where a Ruby-throated Hummingbird was getting nectar yesterday #birdcp
