New Birds and Old

This weekend, I got to see some new species and some old favorites.

Juvenile Broad-winged Hawk, a new bird for my Central Park list.

Philadelphia Vireo, another new bird for my Central Park list.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird, a favorite species.

Pale Male roosted in what seem to be one of his favorite trees east of the Great Lawn and west of the Met. He spent lots of time here last fall. Just north of this tree is a small group of apple trees. I suspect the fallen fruit attracts mice early in the morning. Apple filled rodents must make for a tasty breakfast snack!

Pale Male and Lola

Pale Male and Lola have different sleeping habits. She loves to sleep on buildings and he loves sleep in trees.

He even took a cat nap, before moving to…

… a favorite tree for the evening. I’m amazed by some of the thin branches the hawks use to sleep on, but they must be raccoon proof.

Lola was on a Fifth Avenue building and as it got dark, she moved to the southeast tower of the Beresford for the evening.

She choose a southern facing spot for the evening.

Pale Male

Pale Male was in his favorite tree near Turtle Pond this evening before moving to a roost for the evening. He was easily visible this evening to the delight of children and tourists on the lawn north of the pond.
