On Wednesday, I attempted to get more photographs of the Peregrine Falcons on the General Motors building. This is the best I could do. They’re very far away!
The 55 Water Street pair’s chicks have hatched. To view them go to www.55water.com/falcons and click on the Live Birdcam link.
On Sunday, I had a relaxed day of birding. Here are the highlights of my day.
Our gray morph West Side owl may have moved to the Ramble, in an area that used to be the territory of the now deceased red morph owl. This makes it possible, that given the autopsy results of the red morph, which cited cause of death as an attack by a raptor, that the Eastern Screech-Owl in the Ramble was the red morph’s killer. This story continues to have unexpected twists and turns.
Fly out (or it now fly off, now that the owl is sleeping out in the open) was at 8 p.m. sharp.
On a quiet Saturday morning in the Ramble, I got another new bird for my Central Park list, a Warbling Vireo.
A spring migrant, a summer breeder and a year round-inhabitant…
The light wasn’t that great at 7:00 p.m. but I got my first photographs of a Lesser Scaup on Wednesday. The 117th bird species I’ve photographed, and the 131st I’ve seen in Central Park.
