Breezy, Tilden and FBF

On Saturday we drove out to Breezy Point in Queens, NY. On the way back we stopped at Fort Tilden in Queens and Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn. I did a fair amount of work post processing in these landscapes to bring out the composition, colors, and feeling.

Central Park Lark

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.
