Fall Wood-Warblers on Migration

10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 15, 2012

All of these birds were photographed in the last couple of months in New York and New Jersey as they made their way south on their amazing migration. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed photographing them!

SEPTEMBER 20, 2013

It had been a long time since I’d seen any warblers besides Yellow and Nashville ; it had been a long time since I’d seen any Northern Cardinals or Blue Jays , period. Then I almost ran into a man peeing in a bush, and I knew I was really back in New York. It had been a long time since I birded Central Park.

Tanner’s Spring is its name and the small pool of water, really more of a large puddle, is a favorite place for New York City birders and bird photographers to get great looks at and images of a wide variety of birds coming in to bathe and drink. Nashville Warbler Vermivora ruficapilla.

Kissena Corridor Park underwent habitat restoration over the last two years which seemed to consist of the New York City Parks Department ripping everything out except some native trees and plants, planting saplings, and regularly applying herbicides to areas where invasive plants tried to take over the park.

5, 2008 To the Editor: Kudos to The New York Times for covering the much-neglected connections between meat and climate change. Note from KBJ: The author of the New York Times story describes human beings as "carnivores." Jillian Fry Baltimore, Dec. Anna Lappé Brooklyn, Dec. This is stupid.

The Wood-Warblers Are Back In New York City!

MAY 5, 2014

Every spring they totally steal the show in the northeast and you really can’t blame birders for abandoning their jobs, their families, and their sanity as they rush to New York City’s abundant and amazing parks to see the show live and in technicolor. Or the Nashville Warblers like the one at the top of this post?

Unfortunately, this has been a very dry spring in New York City so, as you can see in the photos above, intrepid Queens birders have made makeshift bird baths to take the place of what is normally a vernal pool. At least one Nashville Warbler came through and I didn’t hear a single person call it a Connecticut Warbler.

Corey was lucky enough to meet Carlos while birding in Ecuador , where Carlos was dragooned into accompanying the horde of Queens birders for the day, an encounter that somehow didn’t turn him off of all things New York. Just keep an eye out for the Barred Owl perched on a Mini Cooper and that is where you will find him.

This is the perfect field guide for beginning and intermediate birders who live or work in New Jersey, and is likely to be of interest to newbie and even experienced birders who live in New York State and Pennsylvania. In fact, any birder planning to bird New Jersey will benefit from using this book.

But 2020 clearly resists the storylines of more predictable years, as those of us birding New York state discovered this weekend. This poor bird has got to regret whatever poor choices or ill luck drove it from the southern latitudes to Upstate New York! How about you? What was your best bird of the weekend?

It was once the estate of Marshall Field III but was acquired by New York State in 1961. It was, in fact, a pretty darn good bird for New York at any time of year, but really good in May. A Greater White-fronted Goose ! Not only had Desi spotted and identified the bird (well, he pointed and yelled Baaaaaaaaaaa!!!!)
