The last time I saw Flaco was when he returned to his tree after visiting the Lower Eastside. Nov 17, 2023.
That summer, when birdwatching got boring I would visit Flaco. He kept me interested in my new hobby. Miss you.

A Vesper Sparrow is a chunky bird with a long tail and a white eye ring. Likes to sings in the evening.

Winter Wrens are so cute but they can be hard to find. I always describe them as little brown golf balls.

A talented birder heard the Rustys. Our group would have never known those birds were up there.

We usually don't find Rusty Blackbirds atop a Pine tree. They must be going after the insects that are around the pine cones.

Compared to the last few days Sunday was a slow bird day. But hey, this chipmunk scored a grape!

At one point while Merlin was eating breakfast there was a group of toddlers sitting at the base of the tree.

Do you need 25 watchers or 25 followers?

I’ve watched via YouTube. Basically I don’t want to have another social media app on my phone. I’ve retired three but still have four.

Found a Great Blue Heron on top of a small tree. It was sleeping but then woke up and started preening. A feather floated to the ground and I got it!

When I got to this spot there were only three birds. Lucky for me one of them was a Nelson’s Sparrow. I was the only birder there and I got quite a show from this little bird.

Look at this Palm Warbler bobbing its tail. The tail movement stirs up insects which is the bird’s preferred food source.

I noticed that as the ducklings got bigger one always looked about the same size as Mama. Could that one be female?

A Blue Jay being quiet.

Do it, eBird wont know the difference.

Pretty bird!

A murder of Crows did not like us. Cackling and flying the whole time, it felt like a scene from “The Birds”. They actually cracked a branch and it fell behind our group. (Sound up to hear it). One of the birders took the branch as a souvenir.

Cora not only cheats but is a dirty manager. Absolutely no reason to throw at Judge.

Soozenyc @soozenyc.bsky.social · 21d

I love them. There’s one tree that they come back to and they peck nice neat rows of holes.

Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers drill for sap.
The sap attract the insects.
The insects attract birds.

It’s always good to see a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
