Central Park Lark

Sherry Felix6 Comments

I went to the park to find a rare Lark Sparrow that was reported. I found it but didn’t get a clear shot. At least I have blurry ones for my records. The wren was more obliging.

Two Days in Central Park

Sherry Felix4 Comments

The first day we didn’t find many birds. The forecast improved for the second day and there were many migrant warblers in the park. A few of these images are not very good that is because this post is to document many of the birds I saw. I left out the Chestnut-sided Warbler – that one was totally out of focus. Can’t win ’em all.
