Additional Saturday Birds
In addition to the Snowy Owl, on Long Island and at Jamaica Bay, I photographed a Merlin, some Snow Geese, and a few Green-winged Teals on Saturday.

Sunny Sunday
After a very gray and rainy Saturday, we had a nice sunny Sunday today. The fall migration is almost over. Most of the bird species in the park today will be wintering here.
Marathon Sunday
I birded in Central Park on Saturday and Sunday. The fall migration is winding down and it is getting tougher to find birds. Pale Male and Lola have a Cooper’s Hawk and a young Red-tail in their territory, which is mixing up the standard schedule for the pair.
Sunday was a crisp fall day. Highlights included Lola on the Beresford Apartments, a cooperative Black-throated Green Warbler, Winter Wren and Song Sparrow.
Golden-Crowned Kinglet and Palm Warbler
Golden-Crowned Kinglets and Palm Warblers may be common this time of year, but that doesn’t make them any less beautiful.
Vesper Sparrow
I had new bird in Central Park today, a Vesper Sparrow. It was on a ridge of rocks just north of the North Meadow. It was nice to have a life bird. They’re getting much harder for me to get these days in Central Park.
Wild Turkey, 4 Weeks Later
The park’s young Wild Turkey is looking much better and seems to be nearing the end of his fall Juvenile molt.
