I’m on bird Instagram, thought I’d try bird Twitter

I’ve got it to where I only see birds when I open any social media app on my phone and it’s doing wonders for my mental health.

Varied Thrush! Vagrant bird visiting NYC from the west coast!

My apologies to the tired dad on the playground with his toddler at 8:30am while a dozen birders pointed giant cameras in his general direction. New York is like that sometimes…

White-eyed Vireo this morning in Green-Wood. Lifer for me! @BirdBrklyn

Pulled a Veery from the Dell Water mud where it was trapped up to its neck. It seemed uninjured - we successfully transported to Wild Bird Fund for cleaning. Hoping this update gets to the other birders who helped save this little guy earlier today ❤️‍🩹@BirdBrklyn @BirdCentralPark

#flaco continues in the south end of Central Park. It seems that he likes freedom. And maybe he likes squirrels too.

#flaco continua en el extremo sur de Central Park. Parece que le gusta la libertad. Y tal vez también le gusten las ardillas. #birdcpp @BirdCentralPark

Video I shot last night from the #CentralParkOwl on 5th Ave after it escaped from its exhibit at the @CentralParkNYC zoo.

@CalGnatcatcher @jasonselvig @ratemyskyperoom Thank you! This is the shot. They are one of my favorite birds to photograph ❤️

[Mary Traina @BirdNerdNYC]

The ultra-rare Townsend's Warbler is prolonging its stay at Fort Greene Park, enjoying the finest menu that Brooklyn can offer. Video from today by Gus Keri

@lotuswinnielee Wow, gorgeous shot and lifer!

[Mary Traina @BirdNerdNYC]

@ElizabethP501 @fortgreenepark Great shot! Perfect lighting!

[Mary Traina @BirdNerdNYC]

@Richard36971987 @BirdBrklyn It was great to meet you and do some birding! I hope you all got one more look at the Townsend’s before sundown 😊

[Mary Traina @BirdNerdNYC]

West coast vagrant, the Townsend’s Warbler, enjoying the day in Fort Greene Park this afternoon! A lifer! Popped up frequently in the trees on the hill by the Willoughby/Washington Park entrance. As they say, follow the birders for great company and sightings! @BirdBrklyn
