Central Park Art

Sherry Felix

I haven’t been to Central Park in quite a while. We went there on Saturday, September 4 for a morning walk. It was so nice to see so many of my birding friends there. There wasn’t a large number of birds, but the few I found where nice ones. The best was a humming bird and a Bay-breasted Warbler.

I spent a few hours today adding new backgrounds to these in Photoshop.

    Great captures. The hummers will be migrating south soon.

    Hi Sherry — did you see the video of the Blue Heron that ate a rat that was in the Central Park pond? P

      No. But I heard about it. Also read an article about millions of rats drowning during the floods from Ada.

    ….I’m partial to the Female Cardinal who looks like she had to deal with Hurricane Ida, ha ha ha.

      LOL love your comment. That cardinal does look like it’s been through the wringer. It amused me too.
