Large gatherings of the snow geese during late fall 2017, just before heading farther south for the winter.
The number of birds in NYC is on the decline and I am trying to document and see as many as I can.

I've never seen a Warbling Vireo like this one before. I'm guessing that it's a Warbling Vireo. Could be a Red-eyed Vireo.
As I was leaving, I ran into the group of not-so-wild wild turkeys playing with the visitors to the park. I think the entire group was there today.
One of my favorite times of the year is when the estuary fills with birds and waterfowl from the fall migration. Ducks and geese fill the back bay. On the day that I shot these Brant, we were given the opportunity to watch as about a thousand Scaup flew in. The sounds from thier wing beats left us all in awe. There were about 6 of us standing on the overlook and I beleive just about everyone was quiet with their jaws dropped in amazement. It's times like these that I know why I got into Nature and Wildlife photography.
Those Caterpillars are tough!! Especially when you're this tiny. This is a small green caterpillar you might see in the forest, it just looks big compared to this tiny bird.

Thanks for viewing and commenting my work :)
Merlin spotted the bird first. He was way up in the tree tops and I had auto ISO on. Really under exposed, but it's my first Yellow-bellied Flycatcher.
Dendroica caerulescens; Black Walnut Point, Talbot Co., MD. Low-light curse of the skulking warbler.
Wilson's Warbler
Wilsonia pusilla
I was sitting in the middle of the 'warbler pit' at Palmyra, getting my shot of the Lincoln's Sparrow, when there was a commotion at the outer end. It turns out that a Wilson's Warbler had appeared and everyone was trying to get a look as he popped in and out of the catalpa.
I got and walked over just as he decided to hide. But not long after everyone walked away, he came back out - but not all the way out - to say hello. I'm glad he did, as this as a life bird for me.
