Absolutely a treat to watch this American Woodcock pulling🪱🪱 out one after another and 💗its city landscape reflection on its eye!
I don't mind another picture of mallards when the light is right! #nycbirds
And the bluejay?! Well, why not?!
Pairing two events in one day last week!!! So lucky to be able to get tickets for Tulips day and stopped by Bryant Park to see Timberdoodle eating a lot of earth noodles! What an adorable bird!

Great Horned Owl found a nook, tucked in nicely and then closed his eyes and rest. The rain didn't bother him at all.
