I'm really enjoying this fall bird migration season and hope it continues for a while longer. Below are some highlights from the last few days.
Eating crab apple berries.
This Yellow-Breasted Chat turned up in Times Square. The interesting thing is this is not the first time this bird has been sighted in this particular pocket park just off 42nd Street & 6th Avenue. Could it be the same individual who likes the flower planters there? Who knows...
I thought this was a cute scene of a male Wilson's Warbler and a female Black-Throated Blue Warbler sharing a bird bath.
The aptly named Yellow-Rumped Warbler:
I always have to post a photo of my favorite warbler, the Northern Parula:
Prairie Warblers win the award for being the most cooperative this season. I seem to have more photos of them than any other bird.
Eastern Wood-Pewees have also been out in force this fall. I think I've seen more this season than any time in the past. They're doing a good job eating all those little invisible bitey bugs.
The city should stop with the never-ending pesticide spraying and let these little flycatchers do their job!
