It is fun to catch birds in flight.. Not always the sharpest of images but I like them anyway.
At the Shawangunk Grasslands NWR feeders there were lots of electric blue Eastern bluebirds. They are so lovely. It is the New York State bird. It is pictured on my conservation license plate. Part of the money to buy it went towards conservation.
We went on a field trip with the Linnaean Society of New York. I got to see many of my old friends. It was below freezing on Saturday, March 6 at the Shawangunk Grasslands NWR in Ulster county, New York. Formerly the Galeville Military Airport, it was decommissioned in 1994 and turned over to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in 1999. It serves as a waypoint for grassland-dependent migratory birds. Area: 0.84 sq mi (2.2 km²).
The hawks were seen at great distance. More to come…
We went for a short trip to the park last week. I saw some of the usual winter birds. The Northern Cardinals are starting to court. I had fun watching the Tufted Titmice. There are a lot of them this winter. Not so many Black-capped Chickadees.
After the big snowfall on February 2nd went to Central Park in New York. Here are a few birds from that day.
