With the days getting longer, the two adult hawks seem to be spending more time together. Intruders to the park today included a juvenile Red-tailed hawk, a Cooper’s Hawk and a rare visitor, a Merlin.

Central Park has had an Immature Red-headed Woodpecker near 68th and Fifth for over a week. I caught up with it after it started snowing on Saturday. It was hanging out in and around a Shagbark Hickory tree.

Antarctica Penguins

I’m on vacation in Antarctica. We’re having wonderful weather for their summer, highs around 36. Penguins are plentiful, and we’ve seen all three members of the Pygoscelis family, Chinstrap, Adelie and Gentoo Penguins so far.
