Oh, is it the machine that gives you the Good Stuff when you press the button?

I wish my hair looked this cool after 6 months without a haircut!

A male Hooded Merganser swimming with its white hood up. His bright yellow eye contrasts with his black face. He knows he's looking great.

Today's Commute Bird (I actually saw it yesterday) is this Hooded Merganser/Pato de Cresta, possibly the goofiest-looking diving duck in nature. At the Central Park Reservoir. #birds 🪶

a man and two women are dancing in a video with the words `` le gusta la gasolina '' written on the bottom . Alt: Daddy Yankee interpreting its masterpiece "Gasolina"

Do you mean -?

The "gas" that makes your car run is very obviously a liquid, so I don't think it's the brits who are using the wrong word.

I might be going crazy but I think I just heard a warbler? From my apartment? Has this long winter finally broken my brain on its last day? #birds

Pettings are a big part of this deal we humans have with our pets. We give them food and shelter but they could probably manage to get that by themselves. They can only get such good scratches from us.

Snow photographers: remember that your camera is most probably going to underexpose all your photos, crank up that exposure compensation!

Good morning! I did see some birds in Central Park on my way to work but today was not a bird photography day, sorry! ☃️🌨️ (also I didn't bike to work either, I just walked across the park)

People feed them in Central Park, stop by somewhere at the Loch in the north end of the park for a minute and titmice will come to check if you have some seeds for them!

A closeup photo of a male wood duck. The tuft at the top of the head is iridescent green and blue. He looks very proud of his looks.

Today was rainy and very gloomy out at Central Park, but I managed to take a nice portrait of this male wood duck at the Azalea Pond #birds 🪶

A closeup portrait photo of a female northern cardinal. She has a red tuft, a bright red beak, and olive brown feathers on her body. She's all puffed up.

Good morning! No biking commute today (it's too cold again) so no new birds, but here's a very nice photo I took for a female northern cardinal a couple of days ago. If any birds need social media profile pictures or author photos for their books just hit me up! #birds 🪶

A Cooper's Hawk (or a sharp-shinned, who knows) perched, with its back to the camera and looking back.

And then there was this hawk, a Cooper's hawk I think? #birds 🪶 (4/4)

A red-tailed hawk, perched on a branch. It's looking to the left.

There were also two or three red-tailed hawks. Two of them have been hanging out together, maybe a pair? Or siblings? #birds 🪶 (3/4)

A bald eagle, dark wings and white head and tail, in flight.

Today's commute through Central Park was very raptor-heavy! This bald eagle flew over the park (1/4) #birds 🪶

A raven perched on a tree, holding a small branch on its beak. It's giving a side look to the camera.

Today's Commute Bird was right next to home... Last year two ravens nested nearby, and it looks like they're back! Here's one of them breaking off branches from a tree. #birds 🪶

A downy woodpecker perched on a knob on a tree.

Good morning! Today's Commute Bird: a female downy woodpecker that was looking for some breakfast by the Central Park Reservoir. #birds 🪶

A great blue heron all puffed up and thinking about its life choices

Today's Commute Bird: The great blue heron that has been spending the winter in Central Park! It looks like it's thinking "I COULD BE FISHING IN BELIZE INSTEAD OF FREEZING MY BUTT ON THIS POND." #birds 🪶
