My New Year’s resolution is to do a little more birding and a little less photography during the non-nesting/fledgling period for hawks. (Basically the months outside of April, May, June and July.)

So today, I just went for a long walk around Central Park today with my scope and took an occasional digiscoping picture.  My bird count 39 species.  The highlight was seeing two Baltimore Orioles.
