Absolutely amazing to see a flock of at least 40(!) pine siskins in the Central Park pineteum today with @BirdingBobNYC, @DAllenNYC. Definitely the largest flock my daughter and I have ever seen. Thanks Bob and Deb! #birdcpp

The presence of small migratory birds on the lawns (e.g., sparrows and warblers) has this American Kestrel watching from high above the Central Park Pinetum.

It's sparrow time in Central Park, and this White-crowned Sparrow shows its striking look on a lawn by Turtle Pond.

Sorry to take some gloss off the beloved and seemingly elegant Lilac-breasted Roller, but one trying to eat a field mouse is so rare that 2 experienced S. African guides had never witnessed it. After over a half-hour, progress seemed to come to a halt. #SouthAfricanWildlife

Eastern Whip-poor-will on the @BirdingBobNYC walk Saturday. The 1st photo shows its rictal bristles - the unbranched structure helps distinguish it from Chuck-will's-widow. The 2nd photo shows the dark median crown stripe, another field mark that can be hard to see. #birdcpp.
