Fall Central Park Birds
Sunday birding was fairly quiet in Central Park, but if you looked hard enough you could find some fun species.
Keeping Watch
Both the male and female of the St. John the Divine Red-tailed Hawk pair kept an eye on the Falconry Extravaganza (a misnomer, since it is an educational event, rather than a true falconry event) on Sunday in the park. Here are pictures of the female keeping watch.
Tennessee Warbler and Purple Finch
The fall migration is in full swing and I’ve been concentrating on adding birds to my Central Park list these last few weeks. On Saturday, I added two more to my list, a Purple Finch and a Tennessee Warbler.
Audubon’s Fall Roost
New York City Audubon’s fall fund raiser, The Fall Roost is Tuesday, October 2, 2007 at the Central Park Boathouse, from 6-9 p.m. Tickets start at $200 (with Jr. tickets for persons under 35 starting at $100).
As I did last year, I’ve contributed a framed photograph to the silent auction. This year, I’ve donated a limited-edition photograph of a pair of Eastern Screech-Owls.
It’s not too late to buy a ticket. Contact the New York City Audubon office at 212-691-7483 or events@nycaudubon.org for further information and to reserve tickets. Proceeds from the Fall Roost support NYC Audubon’s ongoing conservation and education programs in the five boroughs.
