As we were winding down a 6 hour visit to Tagus Estuary today, my guide Bernardo Barreto said, “I think I found something really special” and he pointed at a line of pink blobs about 2 football fields away from us in the distance. We got closer and I was able to shoot this video

My 9-year-old not only re-found the continuing saltmarsh sparrow in Tribeca’s Washington Market Park, she got an outstanding photo totally unassisted 🤯 Way to go, Delphine! #birdcpp

Arctic Warbler in NYC! Phylloscopus borealis breeds in Siberia/Alaska, winters in SE Asia—yet one turned up at Randall’s Island. A jaw-dropping vagrant & one of the rarest migration surprises you can see here.#birdcpp #birdnerd #nikonphotography

AQUATIC WARBLER!!! Still can’t believe we caught this stunner at Carey this morning! Made it worthwhile giving it a go between weather fronts. The bird was interestingly a good weight of 15g!

Quick update on my young Pallid Swift. As you can see doing well and still feeding voraciously. Plenty of wing exercise while feeding. I am hoping to try releasing this weekend. 🤞 #swift #swifts #birds #birdsseeinin2025 #birdphotography
