Lesser Scaup

The light wasn’t that great at 7:00 p.m. but I got my first photographs of a Lesser Scaup on Wednesday.  The 117th bird species I’ve photographed, and the 131st I’ve seen in Central Park.

Sunday After The Rain

Sunday afternoon the rain finally let up for a bit.  The light was difficult and I missed getting a photograph of a Yellow Warbler up in the North Woods.
