So much fun birding all over NYC on this beautiful day. Perfect ending with a Peregrine Falcon at Riverside Church. #birding #falcons #birdwatching #birdsofbluesky #blueskybirds #nycbirding

2 years ago today I had a private audience with Flaco and heard him hoot for the first time. It was incredible. #flaco #owl #birding #birdwatching #flacotheowl #ripflaco

Yesterday heard what I thought was a dog’s squeaky toy but it was coming from a tree! Such a cute little Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Shot with iPhone around 102 and 5th Ave. #birding #birdwatching #blueskybirds
