@MLSandline @BirdBrklyn @prospect_park So low (for a cerulean)! Hope it sticks around.

@BirdCentralPark Thanks for your help, David! Nice meeting you today.

After many years of trying to get a photo of the white-eyed vireo, I finally got one. Thanks in part to @BirdCentralPark. #whiteeyedvireo #centralpark #springmigration #NaturePhotograhpy

Another hard to photograph bird (for me) each spring: the yellow-throated vireo. And one of the many blackburnians from today saying hello. #birdcp #springmigration #centralpark #NaturePhotograhpy

@WinoBradNY @BirdCentralPark Thanks Brad!

@koolshark2 @BirdCentralPark Ha, that’s how it goes sometimes! 🫠

[OP @opie233]

@WinoBradNY Great shots! I saw it for maybe 5 minutes on and off when I went before Thanksgiving. It kept moving around the whole park and stayed mostly in the treetops.

@BirdBrklyn Thanks!

It’s been a while since I chased a bird in NYC. Here’s a rare-for-Brooklyn Townsend’s warbler at Fort Greene park from today. These guys are usually found on the west coast so this young male is pretty far from home right now.

[OP @opie233]

@koolshark2 For sure :) Now time to disappear again until spring haha

@ejbarto1 @BirdBrklyn Great shots, EJ!

@kitcrooks Thanks!

@mitzgami Oh my god! Where is this?

[OP @opie233]

@JeannieMead77 Thank you so much for the kind words!

Check the white boots and rackets on this booted racket-tail, seen west of the Andes in Ecuador. Just as handsome as his rufous-booted racket-tail cousin on the east side. #ecuador #birdwatching #naturephotography
