As always, we were high above the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, perched precariously on the platform atop Battery Harris, the old artillery battery built to defend New York Harbor in World War II. This Pine Warbler was one of four that stopped by, and also one of only four wood-warbler species for the day.

The hand warmers in my pocket not only were relief for my fingers but kept my batteries in my camera a little warmer too, extending their life.
