Canvasback chillin’ in Newtown Creek, NYC

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

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.

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 – at Brooklyn, NY

A thrill to see the vagrant Black-chinned Hummingbird—New York State’s first record—dancing among the flowers on Randall’s Island. With thanks to Barbara Davaros, who first found the bird, and Tim Healy, who helped ID it.

Purple Gallinule continues this evening on the bank opposite Pink Beach @prospect_park @BirdBrklyn – at Brooklyn, NY

Merlin says Willow Flycatcher, which seems right based on shape of head and behavior, but without hearing it vocalize . . . I guess Empidonax? – at Massachusetts, USA

Lovely Green Heron showing off his big feets @prospect_park – at Brooklyn, NY

Hello, friends, yesterday I saw endangered Red-crowned Cranes in the Kushiro Wetlands of Hokkaido, Japan, and this makes me very happy.
