And here's a glamour shot of one of this morning's nice Central Park titmouse #birds 🪶

This morning I finally managed to find the friendly titmice at Central Park and I was able to take some pretty good photos of these cuties! Here's a titmouse being goofy with an acorn #birds 🪶

Seen today on my commute through Central Park: a yellow-bellied sapsucker (chupasavia norreño) having a berry breakfast... I didn't know they like berries too! #birds 🪶

Good morning/buenos días! This Cooper's Hawk (Gavilán de Cooper) was trying and failing to catch a squirrel for breakfast - today at the Central Park Pool. Here's an epic portrait and a derpy one. #birds 🪶

Good morning/buenos días! Here's a Carolina Wren hunting for bugs on the fallen tree leaves, seen at the Central Park Ramble / Aquí tenéis un cucarachero (o chochín) de Carolina cazando bichitos entre las hojas, visto hoy en Central Park #birds 🪶

Today at the Central Park Pool I saw this male green-winged teal trying to impress some of the teal ladies swimming nearby. It's the first time I see teals doing courtship! Look at this handsome guy! #birds 🪶

Los que vivís en Europa no sabéis la bendición que es el tener sanidad pública. Estos días es cuando en EEUU elegimos nuestro plan de salud anual, y es un puto infierno absoluto (aparte de infinitamente caro)

Good morning! Fellow americans, I happily grew and lived until 40 without having to know the difference between EPO, POS, CDHP or PPO. Healthcare doesn't have to be like this, another better life is possible!

the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

Good morning! Today's commute bird: A gadwall enjoying the Central Park Meer / visto de camino al trabajo: un pato friso disfrutando las aguas del Central Park Meer. #birds 🪶

I'm very happy to announce that this morning I saw the first TUFTED TITMOUSE of the season. No photos though but still!

From this morning at the Central Park Pool: a very dramatic looking Northern Shoveler / De esta mañana en la Pool de Central Park: un pato cuchara con un look muy dramático #birds 🪶

When I lived in Madrid I rode a Dahon folding bike to the train and then to work. The shaking from the cobbled streets would loose the bolts on the bike and a couple of times the frame hinge opened mid-ride 😬 (I managed to stop safely both times)

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Good morning! Here's one of the good photos from yesterday's Song Sparrow Photoshoot at Central Park. Also, I saw another bald eagle flying over the park! 🪶 #birds

Ok, maybe I took too many photos of this song sparrow 😅🪶 #birds

Esta mañana en Central Park: Photobombing en serie de una cerceta americana, un ánade friso y un azulón / This morning in Central Park: Serial photobombing of a green-winged teal, a gadwall and a mallard. #birds 🪶

The problem with computer jobs is that it's all in your head. You can't touch or eat the code you write, it's too abstract. You need to find something to make with your hands if you want to stay okay

Google Photos thought that I would like to remember that time 2 years ago when I unsuccessfully tried to take photos of a ruby-crowned kinglet, so it autogenerated this slideshow of my failed shots 🥲🪶 #birds

Also seen today at Central Park: a couple of red-tailed hawks also noticed all the migrating birds and were trying to grab some breakfast, but a raven put a stop to those shenanigans #birds 🪶

Early this morning I got to see hundreds of birds arriving at Central Park on their migration to the South... It was an amazing show! Here's one of them, a Blue-Headed Vireo #birds 🪶

Seen this afternoon in Central Park: a bald eagle!!! This eagle flew right above me while I was biking back home through Central Park, and then perched on a tree by the East Drive a bit below the 79th St traverse. I don't usually do any birding on my way home but I had to stop for this! 🪶 #birds

Seen on Wednesday at Central Park too: a very friendly black and white warbler! / Para los pajareros europeos, este colega es un chipe trepador/black and white warbler. Pertenece a la familia Parulidae pero se comporta como un trepador subiendo y bajando por troncos y ramas. 🪶 #birds

Good morning! Seen yesterday at Central Park: a preening black-throated blue warbler / visto ayer: una reinita azulada acicalándose! #birds 🪶

The fact that PUFFIN ROCK portrays the puffins as being friendly with predators like foxes while portraying the trash-eating seagulls as a hopelessly malicious as an entire species prepares bourgeois children for a life of class-based exploitation and false consciousness. In this essay, I will

O, for a tithe of his focus #birds

Dems clubs are a great idea! Just some meeting space, a ping pong table, and a place to hang out with free sodas and snacks or something like that. Spanish political parties have them in every neighborhood and in the tiniest towns!

No he tenido mucha suerte fotografiando pájaros en Central Park esta mañana, pero sí que he podido retratar a este mapache 🦝 / I didn't have much luck taking bird photos in Central Park this morning but I did get to take a portrait of this cute raccoon 🦝

The reason affluent media people are such suckers for “civility” is that the actual content of most politics has no real stakes for them personally. If you want to find these people’s true political feelings, mess with their money.

This morning in Central Park a black-and-white warbler tried to steal my bike! ☹️ #birds 🪶

I've had my Tamron 150-500 f6.7 for almost 3 years, but only just a couple of weeks ago I thought of shooting at f7.1 instead of fully open... and unsurprisingly my bird photos are now sharper 😑 🪶 #birds

Back in Spain you can get a gun license if you can prove you really need it for self-defense. *A* gun license meaning you can have one single gun, and it expires after 5 years.

This morning I missed the Golden-winged Warbler that was hanging out somewhere at the Loch in Central Park, so this Northern Waterthrush took pity on me and nicely posed for a photo. Thank you waterthrush, have a great trip South! #birds 🪶

Good morning, the yellowthroats showed up in numbers today at the Central Park Pool! Here's one I managed to get on camera even as it was hiding in the reeds. Also seen: some USGS people on a boat taking samples I guess? #usgs #birds 🪶

This morning I saw one of the tiniest birds on the East Coast, a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher! But it was too far to get a good photo, so instead here's the Great Blue Heron I also saw this morning. The heron was too big and too close but at least I got a good portrait #birds 🪶

This morning I saw three different species of warblers: a northern watertrush (chipe/reinita charquera), a black and white warbler (chipe trepador) and a redstart (candelita norteña). Even if the redstart photo is kind of bad I think this marks the official start of fall migration! #birds 🪶

This is the second black and white warbler/chipe trepador I've seen in Central Park this week! #birds 🪶

When she was just 26 Florence Merriam wrote the first guide to birding with binoculars in 1889. And she slipped in this incredible feminist gem:

Good morning! Today's commute bird: a very yellow goldfinch / jilguero americano that apparently has been hanging out around the new pool by the Harlem Meer in Central Park 🪶 #birds

This is the through-line between the "anti-cancel culture" discourse of the last decade and the Trump Administration's overt use of the state as a censoring authority; both are rooted in resentment over what they see as their inferiors subverting the natural hierarchy.

"Oh but what about family and friends?" Listen it's their fault their relative or their friend sucks so much that people celebrate their death.

Today at Central Park this wild mallard duckling CHARGED at me without notice. I managed to get out of the way at the last second... I was very lucky to come out of the encounter unscathed 🙏. Please take wildlife seriously! #birds 🪶

English spelling is extremely messed up. The letters on a word are just a mnemonic that suggests how it's pronounced.

Good morning! Here's the black-crowned heron I saw at Central Park earlier today, perched on a branch. 🪶 #birds

Good morning! This summer Central Park is hosting several black-crowned night herons - here's one that was trying to fish at the Loch earlier today. 🪶 #birds

We're still in the Birding Doldrums over here in NYC, but at least summer is bringing us gorgeous monarch butterflies!
