Mute swan from the Alley Pond restoration area this morning. It swam right up to me with its mate. I did not feed them but I suspect folks do. They followed me around…. #queens #birdwatching #birding

Surge pricing is absurd. I am trying to get home from a doctor’s appt < 2mi from my home. The subway broke down and everyone is calling an uber. These are the prices! I’m now on a bus… #uber #nyc

At Alley Pond environmental center we viewed a hooded merganser, winter wren I believe, and a Ruby crowned kinglet. #birding #birds #birdwatching #queens #nyc

Not a good photo at all due to distance but we finally found the “silver” wood duck on Oakland Lake this morning. It was hanging with 9 other wood ducks. I’m still recovering from an appendectomy so I’m delighted to do even limited birding. #Birds #birdwatching #Queens #nyc

Happy Halloween! Shawn hates Halloween hence the purposeful scowl lol. I’m loving all the adorable trick or treaters. It’s super windy though! Stay safe all! #Tgif #Halloween #NYC #Queens
