Joshua Malbin has been birding in Brooklyn, NY for more than 10 of his 15-plus years doing it so far.

Maybe author Sy Montgomery is right when she says that “birdwatchers often look down on falconry,” and maybe not.

The general public is out and about, birds and animals are raising their young, and human/wildlife interaction is at its peak. Two days ago I went on Facebook and queried some of my exhausted compatriots: if you could have one wish right now – anything in the world – what would it be? “I Summer is high season. That’s easy!”

Snowy Owls are iconic birds. The three of us, Seth, Pat, and I, were the only ones there looking for birds except for one photographer, and the owl seemed content to sit in the dunes and we left it where we found it, undisturbed and unmoving. So he shot video of them and posted it to the New York State listserv.
