Found a group of Tufted Titmouses, they gave themselves away by being chatty! The Chickadees won’t be far behind. #birds #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

I learn so much on Ryan’s bird walks. If you like my posts I’m sure you’ll enjoy his new book, Bird City. #birds #birdwatching

The moon glistens as the sun sets at 4:50pm. Green-wood closes at 6pm. So its quiet and darkness seeps in. Saw two bats, a Great Blue Heron hunting for fish and a Red-tailed Hawk, well, just hunting. #birds #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

I’m getting better at spotting birds from a distance. Good thing I captured this Cooper’s Hawk, once I got closer it flew off. #birds #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

Another lost tourist! At this time of year Horned Grebes are white and gray with a black cap and contrasting white cheek. Wasn't close enough to capture the red eyes. LIFER. #birds #birdcpp #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

We have a guest from the West Coast, a stunning Varied Thrush. Bright orange with a black face mask. Bounced around all afternoon, eating to get enough strength for its return trip home. LIFER #birds #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

A Vesper Sparrow is a chunky bird with a long tail and a white eye ring. Likes to sings in the evening. #birds #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

Winter Wrens are so cute but they can be hard to find. I always describe them as little brown golf balls. #birds #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

We usually don't find Rusty Blackbirds atop a Pine tree. They must be going after the insects that are around the pine cones. #birds #birdcpp #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

Compared to the last few days Sunday was a slow bird day. But hey, this chipmunk scored a grape! #birds #birdcpp #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

At one point while Merlin was eating breakfast there was a group of toddlers sitting at the base of the tree. #birds #brooklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

Found a Great Blue Heron on top of a small tree. It was sleeping but then woke up and started preening. A feather floated to the ground and I got it! #birds #birdcpp #greatblueheron

(Reposted w/video) When I got to this spot there were only three birds. Lucky for me one of them was a Nelson’s Sparrow. I was the only birder there and I got quite a show from this little bird. LIFER. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #prospectpark

Look at this Palm Warbler bobbing its tail. The tail movement stirs up insects which is the bird’s preferred food source. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #historicgreenwood #birdcpp

A Blue Jay being quiet. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #ProspectPark #birdcpp

A murder of Crows did not like us. Cackling and flying the whole time, it felt like a scene from “The Birds”. They actually cracked a branch and it fell behind our group. (Sound up to hear it). One of the birders took the branch as a souvenir. #birds #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

Cora not only cheats but is a dirty manager. Absolutely no reason to throw at Judge.

Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers drill for sap. The sap attract the insects. The insects attract birds. It’s always good to see a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #historicgreenwood #birdcpp

I swear the person was feeding the Mute Swan family Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers! #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #ProspectPark #birdcpp

This is one of four Northern Flickers eating out of this tree. Tree must have good reviews. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #historicgreenwood #birdcpp

Lifer! A Great Cormorant made a rest stop at Green-Wood. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #historicgreenwood #birdcpp

Playoffs! #nyyankees

Missed my chance to catch a Black and White Warbler on video. Dejected, I turned around and there sat a male Black-throated Blue Warbler. Score! #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #historicgreenwood #birdcpp

A female Black-throated Blue Warbler. Yep, not blue. Yep, no black throat. Could be an Orange-crowned Warbler but the white patch on the wings says otherwise. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #ProspectPark #birdcpp

This young Peregrine Falcon perched for over 20 minutes in this spot. I don’t know much about them but it seemed a bit odd. The trees below him were full of warblers. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #historicgreenwood #birdcpp

Beautiful Osprey perched at Crescent. The Northern Flickers were not happy but they didn’t dive bomb this bird like they do the Red-tailed Hawks. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #historicgreenwood #birdcpp

Holy crap! It’s a new B train. #nycsubway.

Big brother has flew the coop, its just Mom feeding the remaining hummingbird baby. (Part 2) Note: Staying a respectful distance from the birds means more photo cropping and more graininess. #birds #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #birdcpp

We counted five Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at one time in the Vale today. They put on a lovely show, one buzzed over my head! #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #ProspectPark #birdcpp

Magnolia Warbler at eye level at the Peninsula. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #ProspectPark #birdcpp

These Monk Parakeets are on alert! Why? There were two Cooper’s Hawks approaching their nest. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #historicgreenwood #birdcpp

I believe this Great Blue Heron is cooling off by Gular Fluttering. A Heron vibrates the moist tissues in its throat and mouth. The airflow increases and helps to lower the bird’s body temperature. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #ProspectPark #birdcpp

We were watching a Common Tern and a Forster s Tern, not sure which one caught a fish. #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #MarinePark #birdcpp

Help! Juvenile Black Night-crowned Heron? I saw three of them hanging with a Great Blue and some DC Cormorants .

No one has ever told me why this species is called an Ovenbird. Any guesses? #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2025 #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #ProspectPark

This Double-crested Cormorant took an extra day off and went boating. #birds #birdwatching #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #ProspectPark

I found Flinty! It’s been weeks since I’ve seen her up close. She’s start to lose her baby peach coloring. She was listening the squirrels screech. #birds #birdwatching #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

I’m not sure this is Flinty, the baby Red-tailed Hawk I’ve followed since she left her nest. The head movements are similar but the body markings don’t match. I haven’t seen Flinty this close in several weeks. Do fledglings molt? #birds #birdwatching #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub

I love that Yoko’s butt is in my face this whole month @shannonminter5.bsky.social TOOOOOOOOOT!

Great Blue Heron being heckled by the Laughing Gulls. Believe me the longer he stayed the noisier they got. #birds #birdwatching #Brklynbirds #bklynbirdclub #GowanusCanal
