My First Eastern Phoebe Of Spring
I got to see my first Eastern Phoebe of the season on Thursday in the Wildflower Meadow.



I got to see my first Eastern Phoebe of the season on Thursday in the Wildflower Meadow.
I have a few Central Park species that I should have caught up with by now. One is the Pine Siskin, which I saw today, so I can finally cross it off my list! About ten were at the Evodia field feeders early this afternoon.
The oven is a cove on the Lake of Central Park. It attracts a good number of birds during each season, including the winter.
Today, there were a number of birds, including a Red-tailed Hawk, a Hermit Thrush, numerous Northern Cardinals, numerous Tufted Titmice, and a Cooper’s Hawk that has been roosting in the same location nearby since at least early January.
I had gone out in search of two birds that I didn’t have on my Central Park list, the White-winged Crossbill and the Pine Siskin, but ended up with completely different bird for my list, the American Tree Sparrow this afternoon.
I got to add a few birds to my life list in St. John, including the Antillean Crested Hummingbird.
St. John has a large population of Brown Pelicans, who fish close to the beaches. They’re fun to watch dive bombing for fish.
