Photography on hiatus while my broken shoulder heals… Mostly but not entirely urban. Mostly but not entirely nature. Mostly but not entirely birds—which are, of course, dinosaurs.

A raven and chick at St. John the Divine in Manhattan. (The second picture is a zoomed-in version of the first.) #birds #birdCPP #wildlifePhotography

At this time of year, Columbia University covers trees along College Walk, the main pathway across campus, with lights. They can be very pretty. This picture was at 2”, f/22, ISO 64, 25mm, plus some adjustments to contrast and exposure in post after converting to B&W.

I went to Riverside Park today to try to get a better picture of the dickcissel. No joy, but I saw four different kinds of woodpeckers (of the six types I've ever seen in Manhattan): a downy woodpecker, a hairy woodpecker, a red-bellied woodpecker, and a yellow-bellied sapsucker. #birds #birdCPP

Looking for a better shot of the dickcissel in NYC’s Riverside Park, I tried using my long, I.e., heavy lens for the first time since my accident. Nope, too soon, and no dickcissel. But: a white-breasted nuthatch, a tufted titmouse, a red-bellied woodpecker, and—the prize—a peregrine falcon.

A Cooper's hawk on Morningside Drive in NYC. In Riverside Park, a Carolina wren and a black-capped chickadee, a downy woodpecker, and a tufted titmouse, a dicksissel, and the downy woodpecker. (I'd be skeptical of Merlin's ID as a dicksissel but one was known to be there.) #birds #birdCPP

More winter birds in Central Park: a white-breasted nuthatch, a male and a female northern cardinal, and, watching over everything, a juvenile red-tailed hawk. #birds #birdCPP #wildlifePhotography

Typical NYC winter birds in Central Park today: a dark-eyed junco, a tufted titmouse, a bluejay that found an acorn, and a downy woodpecker. #birds #birdCPP #wildlifePhotography

The doctor said I could use my camera, to the extent I felt able to. So, after my first physical therapy appointment, I headed to Central Park… So: a fox sparrow (a lifer!), a female purple finch (also a lifer!), my best-ever Carolina wren shot, and a white-breasted nuthatch. #birdCPP

A few bird pictures I could manage: a pair of common ravens on Morningside Drive just north of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine—the first time I’ve seen them since the chicks fledged—and a tufted titmouse in Central Park near the Pool. #birds #birdCPP #wildlifePhotography

My last pictures (October 20), on the outing to State Line Overlook where I fell and fractured my shoulder.… A peregrine falcon (per Merlin), two black vultures, a red-bellied woodpecker, and some trees with nice autumn foliage.

I’ve neglected to post my eclipse pictures. They’re at www.urbandinosaurs.org/blog/2024-04.... Today’s walk in Central Park was good, too: www.urbandinosaurs.org/blog/2024-04.... #birds #wildlifePhotography #eclipse2024
