Bayard Cutting Fauna

Insects, mammals, reptiles and more can be found at the arboretum. These are a few of the chickens that provide the multicolored eggs for sale.

Jamaica Bay Wildlife

On June 1st we drove to Jamaica Bay in Queens, New York City. It is one of my favorite places to visit. I forgot the good bug spray with Deet in it and only had some herbal bug spray which was useless, so the mosquitos chewed us up. I gave blood to see a Red-headed Woodpecker there.

Central Park May Babies

A few spring newbies.

Central Park Mid May Birds

I had fun using all the AI tools to clean up noise and sharpen these.

Central Park May Thrushes

Three different thrushes that stop in the park during migration. I love the song of the wood thrush.

Central Park Bird Bathing

There is a little stream on the east side of the point in The Lake. It is a treat to watch the migrating and local birds bathing there.
