We went to Central Park on Saturday 2/12/2018 to do a bit of bird watching. We joined a group of friends on a Linnaean Society of New York birding trip. The highlights were a a Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s Hawk. It was a mild, gray, wet day. We saw 33 species of birds.

Marc took some arty shots with his cell phone.

Thanks. It isn’t sharp but that doesn’t matter. It’s about composition and mood. As you noticed 😊

It was probably 8×10. I just posted a fuzzy Starling – my excuse is it’s art ☺.

Very nice! So wonderful to be able to bird in central park. It’s one of my dreams to visit there during the spring. That’s awesome you saw 33 different birds on a winter day. I especially liked the artsy photo of the reflection on ice.

Great seeing Central Park in the winter. Both you and Marc give a creative expression of the beauties of the park in winter. Wonderful to see the mallard lending bright colors to a frigid day, and of course the bufflehead and sharpie must’ve been a thrill too. My favorite was the oak leaves in the ice. Lovely post, Sherry.
