A slice of city life… nowadays its mainly about birds.
pinned post!
The last time I saw Flaco was when he returned to his tree after visiting the Lower Eastside. Nov 17, 2023. That summer, when birdwatching got boring I would visit Flaco. He kept me interested in my new hobby. Miss you.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

(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.

Look at this Palm Warbler bobbing its tail. The tail movement stirs up insects which is the bird’s preferred food source.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
