Black and White warbler enjoying the termite hatch out @GreenWoodHF yesterday
What a great day!
Birding in Bryant Park this morning, and I think we helped @_RobFloyd see his first Timberdoodle! Hi!! Nice to meet you this morning. :-P
Truly my favorite part of birding in NYC are the interesting people who stop by when they see a group of people staring in to the shrubbery
ALT A timberdoodle (American Woodcock) sits on the ground in a bed of daffodils.
Hello Night Heron, thanks for hanging around Dell Water this morning. #brooklynbirding

Flow, my tears, fall to Gowanus Bay!
Exiled for ever (until 1:00 AM), let me mourn

Please view Flaco from a distance and stay quiet around him at all times. If you choose to see him at night, please keep in mind that it takes skill, experience and quality binos to sight an owl at night. Remember to turn off your camera flash! (10/11)

Interestingly, Flaco is used to people and rests well during the day—when rescue attempts were not made anyway. So daytime viewing is perhaps fine. But I still don’t like to see people crowding around a sleeping owl all day long. I suggest keeping daytime visits brief. (9/11)
So… I’m launching a print shop. I just got my proofs back and they’re stunning. Can’t wait to get these into people’s hands!
10% of proceeds from all bird images will be donated to @wildbirdfund :-)

Did you know? When SCOTUS said in 1937 that the Social Security Act was “unconstitutional”, President Roosevelt didn’t ask people to vote harder in the next election, he told the Supreme Court he’d add more justices until they backed off, which they did. — We can still do that.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
President Roosevelt's court-packing plan was released before the Supreme Court ruled on the constitutionality of the Social Security Act.
In May 1937 the Court upheld the constitutionality of the SSA in Helvering v Davis, Steward Machine Co v Davis & Carmichael v Southern Coal

Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.
