Snow Geese

The two Snow Geese continue on the Central Park Reservoir. They’ve been hanging out with about 75 Canada Geese at the south end.

Snow Geese and Pale Male in the Snow

As winter finally arrives and we get a light dusting of snow, Central Park has two Snow Geese on the reservoir. Large flocks of snow geese fly over the park during migration, but it’s unusual for there to be a pair hanging out on the reservoir, especially in January. So, they were a nice treat on a gray day.

As I was leaving the park, I ran into Pale Male in the east Pinetum. He looked handsome with a dusting of snow.

Orange-crowned Warbler

While two of our winter stars left when the first freeze arrived this last week, the Great Horned Owl in Central Park and the Painted Bunting in Prospect Park, one star from the Christmas Bird Count is still in Central Park, an Orange-crowned Warbler. This fabulous little bird has been hanging around the south west corner of the Met, and loves to visit some fresh cuts made by a Yellow-belled Sapsucker.

In addition to the warbler, many of us were treated to a double rainbow after a brief, but heavy downpour.

Everglades Birding

I spent Christmas week in the Everglades. It has been unusually wet, so the birding was limited. However, I did get to see some great birds, including this Red-shouldered Hawk, Great Egret and Barred Owl.
