Another Central Park Morning!

New York, NY

semi-overcast 62 °F

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26:

This morning after an early doctor’s appointment (due to a tick, folks please be careful this year it’s a bad year for ticks! I am totally fine, though), I took advantage of my proximity to Central Park to spend a pleasant morning of birding one of my favorite places!

FIELD SPARROWS are a nice, fairly uncommon migrant in the park:

YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS are common but no less appreciated:

My first BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER of the year, a beautiful male!

Warbler season is on for sure! Here’s a BLACK-AND-WHITE:

This male WHITE-THROATED SPARROW posed beautifully for me!

And though it is *just* a zoo escapee, I will never turn down the chance to photograph Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl — a truly impressive beast!

Bird-of-the-day to the Black-throated Blue Warbler. More migration madness to come!

Happy birding,
Henry
