Connecticut Warbler on Sunday
The Connecticut Warbler was more difficult to find on Sunday, but for about twenty minutes gave us excellent views. The bird seen on Sunday has some feathers out of place near the back of its head on the right side.
Saturday, Connecticut Warbler and Old Friends
The Connecticut Warbler that has been in the Pinetum has stuck around and was seen on Saturday. I photographed it and some birds at Tanner’s Spring.
Sunday and Monday Warblers and more. . .
Central Park had a Connecticut Warbler Sunday, with another Connecticut Warbler being seen on Monday. I photographed other warblers on Sunday, including a Yellow-rumped Warbler, Pine Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Palm Warbler and Yellow-breasted Chat.
In addition to the warblers, I got nice shots of a Red-eyed Vireo and a Northern Mockingbird.
Pale Male and Lola on Sunday
Pale Male was in a favorite tree on the East Drive opposite the Met on Sunday afternoon. He was hassled by a few Blue Jays for a few minutes. After about half an hour, he then flew to what sometimes is his regular roost tree, before moving a few blocks north for the evening. He settled down, and Lola joined him for the evening in a nearby branch.
Young Turkey, Two Weeks Later
Central Park’s young Wild Turkey is looking much better. After molting, it has grown back its neck feathers, and is beginning to grow back its tail and coverts feathers.
Young Turkey, 9 Days Later
On a rainy weekend, I was able to catch up with the young male turkey that has been in the Ramble this summer, and now fall.
It’s starting to grow back many of its molted feathers and is starting to look a lot more normal.
If you look closely, you can see how the feathers are growing in.
