I couldn't get a clear view of our Long-eared Owls this morning, but the good news is that they're still here! 🦉❤️🦉 #Owls #CentralPark #birding

Life and death in Central Park, as a Red-tailed Hawk goes squirrel hunting! ❤️💔❤️ #Hawks #CentralPark #birding

How'd this play out on Kalshi?

gorgeous- a male cardinal flying towards the camera with wing spread, really does look angelic, or some sort of phoenix

A pair 🤗 🦉🦉

Watched two male Cardinals chasing each other in Central Park this morning, which enabled me to capture one in this angelic pose. I don't think I've ever gotten a shot quite like this! 😍😍😍 #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

Always exciting.

A Superb Owl!

🎉🎉🎉 Woohoo! We've had a pair of Long-eared Owls take up residence in Central Park! Welcome to the big city! 🦉🦉🦉 #Owls #CentralPark #birding

😂😂😂 "Whaddya want--it's a little windy out here!" Northern Cardinal to me in Central Park this morning. With the wind chill, it's about 5°! 🥶🥶🥶 #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

This Northern Cardinal seemed to be keeping an eye on me as he was about to swoop down to snag a seed. Spotted along Central Park's Harlem Meer this morning. 😍😍😍 #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

Pretty much how every New Yorker is feeling about this unrelenting winter! Our resident Great Blue Heron dreaming of spring in the Central Park Loch. 💙🩶💙 #Herons #CentralPark #birding

Feeling the cold... 🥶

Brrrr! What a *cold* photo!

I haven't seen many Tufted Titmice in Central Park this winter, but happily, there are a few. Here's one hopping along a rescue ladder in the Loch. So cute! ❤️❤️❤️ #Titmouse #CentralPark #birding

OK, OK, I agree--you are the fairest Northern Cardinal of all! Gracing a fence in Central Park's Loch in -5° wind chill! 🤎💛❤️ #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

A young Red-tailed Hawk hunting squirrels in Central Park. Check out those pantaloons! 👖👖👖 #Hawks #CentralPark #birding

This Great Blue Heron has chosen to winter in Central Park. I see it regularly, standing stoically on the ice--but never fishing. Hoping it is going to make it until the ice thaws! 💙🩶❤️ #Herons #CentralPark #birding

Felt like the coldest morning yet in this epic deep freeze, as you can see by how floofy this beautiful Northern Cardinal is! It's amazing they can survive this bitter weather. 🤎❄️❤️ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birding

A Northern Cardinal waiting out the storm in Central Park during last weekend's blizzard. All puffed up because it was frigid! ❤️❄️❤️ #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

Northern Cardinal in the snow. That's it. That's the tweet! 🥰🥰🥰 #Cardinal #CentralPark #birding

I love Northern Cardinals, especially in the snow. But the truth is, I'm partial to females! Look at this lovely lady I met in Central Park this morning! She's all puffed up trying to stay warm. ❤️🤎❤️ #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

Our resident Great Blue Heron has been weathering the blizzard with aplomb. I spotted it knee-deep in snow in Central Park's Loch during the height of the storm. 💙🩶💙 #Herons #CentralPark #birding

I ventured out to Central Park early this morning during the Blizzard of '26. It was beautiful and eerily quiet, and I ran into a couple of avian buddies, including this Northern Cardinal, all puffed up to keep warm! ❄️❄️❄️ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birdcpp

This Great Blue Heron was positively statuesque standing on the edge of the semi-frozen Harlem Meer. But I noticed it did glance up when a Red-tailed Hawk flew over! 🙄🙄🙄 #Herons #CentralPark #birding

Behold the incredible beauty of a Sparkling Violetear! Seen feeding on a Red Hot Poker near Ollantaytambo, Peru. 💚💙💚 #Hummingbirds #Peru #BirdsSeenIn2026

I was very surprised to see a Great Blue Heron doing some ice fishing in Central Park's Loch this morning! And in its full cold weather gear! 💙🩶💙 #Herons #CentralPark #birding

We saw loads of other creatures in Peru, including Squirrel Monkeys! How cute is this little one? 🥰🥰🥰 #Monkeys #Peru

I've seen Red-tailed Hawks eating squirrels and chasing squirrels in Central Park, but I've never seen one actually catch a squirrel... #hawks #squirrels #CentralPark #birdcpp

One of the strangest-looking birds we saw in Peru, the Hoitzin, is also one of the most unusual. Like cattle, it's a ruminant, meaning its digestive system ferments plant matter. The Hoatzin is the last surviving member of a bird line that branched off in its own direction 64 million years ago,

These Long-tailed Sylphs are so incredibly beautiful! Spotted momentarily on Peru's Manu Road. 💚💙💚 #Hummingbird #Peru #ManuRoad

While watching Macaws at the Tambopata Clay Lick in the Peruvian Amazon, part of the riverbank caved in. The Macaws all scattered, enabling me to get this shot of them in flight! ❤️💛💙 #Macaws #Amazon #Peru

I hope you don't mind me continuing to share photos from Peru, but I keep finding images I think you'll enjoy. Here's a Sparkling Violetear perched in front of a Red Hot Poker. Just look at the details of these feathers! 💚💙💚 #Hummingbirds #Peru #Ollantaytambo

After I shared a photo of a Northern Cardinal yesterday, I remembered seeing Red-capped Cardinals on the banks of Lake Sandoval in the Peruvian Amazon. Both are beautiful! ❤️🖤❤️ #Cardinal #Amazon #Peru

Caught a Northern Cardinal with an impressive flex on the edge of the Harlem Meer! I love how these high-speed cameras capture images you'd never see with the naked eye! 📸📸📸 #Cardinal #CentralPark #birding
