A Little Birding Goes a Long Way Spring migration ended. The journey didn’t. Part 3 of my Spring Migration story is now live, looking back at how a chance encounter with a Red-tailed Hawk eventually led to wildlife photography, new places, friendships, and photography workshops in Central Park.

December in the parks feels different. Fewer people. Softer light. Longer pauses between moments. I shared some reflections from recent winter walks in my latest blog, December in the Parks, Finding Stillness in Wild New York. Read it here: dennisnewsham.com/2025/12/19/d... #WildNewYork #NYCParks

As Christmas approaches, the city feels a little quieter. The parks slow down this time of year. Fewer people. Fewer birds. More space to breathe. Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful holiday, wherever you find your quiet. DennisNewsham.com #WildNewYork #NYCWildlife #UrbanNature #ChristmasInNYC
