Are you in NYC? If so, contact the Wild Bird Fund with the exact location. They'll know what to do.

If you like borbs follow this account. Being in the pnw now, I miss cardinals 🥲 🐦‍⬛🐦🦢🦉

Great shot!

Brilliant sunshine in Central Park today as NYC emerges from the blizzard. The Northern Cardinals were poofed up and positively luminescent in the morning light! ☀️☀️☀️ #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

Scenes from the Blizzard of '26. First, a Northern Cardinal braving the elements in Central Park's Loch. 15" of snow at 7 AM and counting! ❄️❤️❄️ #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

And, second, a solitary Canada Goose waiting out the storm on Central Park's Harlem Meer. #Goose #CentralPark 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

We went to an amazing GBH rookery in Rockport. Didn't go to High Island, unfortunately.

Thinking about the hockey...poor little guy. 🥹

Here's the range map of the Crested Caracara. You can see it just trickles into Texas.

Known as the 'Mexican Eagle', the Crested Caracara looks like a hawk, behaves like a vulture, and is actually a falcon. It lives predominantly in Central and South America (see map below) but is found in southern Texas. And we found it! 🥰🥰🥰 #Caracara #BirdsSeenIn2026

One cool thing we've noticed here in Texas is how many Kestrels there are--they seem to be on every stretch of electric power lines. I captured this one as it took off in pursuit of dinner. 😎😎😎 #Kestrel #Texas #birding

It has been such a thrill to see Whooping Cranes here in Texas. Once down to just 15 individuals, there are nearly 600 here at the Aransas NWR. Hunting and habitat loss nearly rendered the species extinct, but now there's hope! ❤️❤️❤️ #WhoopingCrane #AransasNWR #BirdsSeenIn2026

A flock of Roseate Spoonbills flying off into the sunset along the Texas coast. We watch this 'flyout' every evening! 😍😍😍 #Spoonbills #Texas #BirdsSeenIn2026

Thanks!

We went to a heron rookery near Rockport at dawn yesterday and were entertained by hundreds of herons building their nests. Here, a male brings a twig for the female to inspect and then place properly on the nest. 😍😍😍 #Herons #rookery #Texas

In Central Park, we see coyotes and raccoons, but birding here in Texas is just a little...different. This huuuge gator was sunbathing right next to a pond we've been visiting. It was no more than 40 feet from where I was standing. Yikes! 😮😮😮

A solitary Pink Flamingo hanging with the White Pelicans at Port Aransas, TX. So cute how they bundle themselves! 💕💕💕 #flamingo #pelicans  #BirdsSeenIn2026

A pair of Whooping Cranes soared just overhead near Goose Island on the Texas coast. In 1940, there were just 15 Whooping Cranes left. A remarkable conservation effort has enabled the population to grow, but there are still just 600! What a thrill! 😍😍😍 #Cranes #Lifer #birdsseenin2026

Roseate Spoonbills flying over the Gulf of Mexico at sunset near Rockport, Texas. Much more to come including a family of Whooping Cranes. #Spoonbills #Texas #BirdsSeenIn2026

I’m off to Texas this morning, but wanted to wish everyone a happy #ValentinesDay! A pair of Cedar Waxwings courting in Central Park. 💕💕💕 #waxwings #centralpark #birding

"Hey, he's trying to take a picture of me!"

Flaco was fine in the park. He was poisoned after he left.

I couldn't get a clear view of our Long-eared Owls this morning, but the good news is that they're still here! 🦉❤️🦉 #Owls #CentralPark #birding

Nope!

Life and death in Central Park, as a Red-tailed Hawk goes squirrel hunting! ❤️💔❤️ #Hawks #CentralPark #birding
