The beefiest tern in the world, Caspian Tern. Bigger than many gulls, with a pickaxe bills invariably described as "blood red." Brooklyn, NY, early October in the rain. This one's an immature. #birds #birding #terns #birdsnyc

White-winged Scoter just off the seawall literally underneath the Verrazano Narrows bridge yesterday for #birdsseenin2025. The closest I've ever been to one of these, frankly speaking, incredibly weird looking sea ducks. #birds #birding #birdsnyc

3 young Red-tailed Hawks were playing tag with each other all morning at Green-Wood. They were riding updrafts above the ridge adjacent the historic chapel #birds #birdsNYC #birding #birdphotography #redtailedhawk

Despite its name, Common Mergansers are rare around NYC. An recent incursion here likely due to frozen lakes & streams to the north. This one is hanging around Brooklyn #birds #birding #birdsNYC #birdphotography #ducks

Black-headed Gull at Coney Island yesterday. It's a rarity in Brooklyn, but if seen in the UK people would 🥱 #birds #birdsNYC #birding #gulls

Black-capped Chickadee danging from a hemlock cone. Hope he and his friends are eating the invasive woolly adelgid #birds #birdsNYC #birding #chickadee #birdphotography

Warmer temps today saw lots of activity at the beehives. Oriole noticed & has gone from foraging for dead ones to plucking them right out of the air. BEELICIOUS! #birds #birdsNYC #birding #birdphotography #oriole

Was surprised to hear this immature Cooper's Hawk calling for several minutes from its perch in a sweetgum tree. Lonely? #birds #birdsNYC #birding #coopershawk #raptor

Golden-crowned Kinglet spies something good. Also, why are there no birds named for female monarchs, i.e. Queenlet or Queenbird? #birds #birding #birdsNYC #kinglet

Spotted this banded Canada in a flock of about 80 geese. Turns out it was banded in 2017 in Bristol, CT, ~90 miles away, as the goose flies #birds, #birdsNYC #goose #birding

1 year ago today, I stood with friends at the edge of the water at Floyd Bennett Field, looking at a rare Pacific Loon. Low temps & 30mph WNW winds, made it feel like single digits. Good times #bird #birdsNYC #birding #arcticblast
