Danger zone: Curious squirrel gets a little too close to the Barred owl for comfort. Saturday evening in Central Park. #birdcpp
A long-eared owl visited Central Park on Saturday, well-hidden among the fall foliage #birdcpp
Barn owls seen Friday night after their home was destroyed by a callous landlord. They returned to the upper west side water tank where they were born and raised and took short flights around the area. #birdcpp #owls #canonphotography #wildlifephotography
Saw the migrating eastern meadowlark last week. It had some unappreciated observers, including a Merlin, kestrel and a few red-tailed hawks. You can see he’s pretty jumpy in this video. #birdcpp
Caught up with the Verizon Plaza yellow-breasted chat on my birthday (10/26) and I must say he was the perfect gift 😊🎁 #birdcpp #birdphotography #wildlife #canonphotography

Couldn’t resist a trip to Wave Hill in Riverdale on Tuesday to see the Black-throated gray warbler, a rare visitor from the West Coast. This manic little bird is a challenging subject. I was lucky to get some shots! #birdcpp
Eastern meadowlark foraged in Central Park last week while scanning the skies for predators like the nearby Merlin and Kestrel keen on making it a meal! #birdcpp #canonphotography
Full house! All 5 of the famous Barn owl chicks of the upper west side. Seen Friday night from a distance. Long exposure. #lifer #birdcpp #canonphotography
Very exciting to see the nesting American Barn Owls (lifer!!) last night. I was away for a couple weeks so it’s awesome that they are still hanging around. If you look hard, you’ll see 3 owls in the 2nd photo. Taken from afar on CPW. #birdcpp
Funny faces: Celebrity Central Park owl Bramble preens and stretches before the hunt. Photos from my 1st encounter a couple weeks ago. Hope to catch up with her again soon! #birdcpp
An angel gets its wings 😇 I love this stretch! So happy to have finally captured the moment! Barred #Owl, Central Park #birdcpp #Birding #canonphotography #wildlife
Face to face with a barred owl in Central Park! Seen Monday in the ramble. #birdcpp #canonphotography
Ruby-throated hummingbirds enjoying the jewel weed at the Oven in the #CentralPark ramble on Friday. There were at least 3! #birdcpp #birding #canonphotography
Houseboat? Barn swallows built this nest on the @Seawatchtours boat that took us to Machias Seal Island in July. The parents fed their chicks and then stayed ashore when we left. When we returned there they were waiting. #birding #nestingbirds #canonphotography @HarrietHalpern
Saturday in #CentralPark with a blue-winged warbler. He came down for a quick hello and then off he went #birdcpp #canonphotography #wildlife
Stick out your tongue and say “ahhh.” Great blue heron at the pool in Central Park #birdcpp #birding #canonphotography
Lunchtime for barn swallow fledglings! A most adorable scene, at Gould Meadows in the #Berkshires. Another lucky encounter!! #birding #canonphotography #wildlife #nature
