Stopped by 1114 Ave of the Americas today hoping for the reported Sora—no luck, but I did catch an American Redstart! Did you know they fan their tails to flush out insects?

Love birding in Central Park’s Wildflower Meadow 🌸 — spotted this Northern Parula in striking colors! Fun fact: they often nest in hanging Spanish moss down south.

Spotted a Fork-tailed Flycatcher on Randall’s Island—an incredible vagrant from South America seen in NYC since May 21! After a subway, transfer, and long walk, I made it—and so glad I did. Great views, great weather, and great birding company.

These birds don’t have blue pigment—it’s all light refraction. Nature is wild.
