This was one of the other new species I spotted in my yard the other day! These guys are super fast, and incredibly tiny. I swear they are A-D-D and need some bird Ritalin! It is difficult to keep them in your field of view. I got lots of shots, either with a blurred bird, half a bird, or no bird! I felt fortunate to have captured at least one in focus shot!

While I was photographing them, a third flew into to join them. Did not see her coming in time to get her in flight. Obviously my presence was not bothering them, the one in the middle is falling asleep.

The number of birds in NYC is on the decline and I am trying to document and see as many as I can.

Every now and then, blue-winged teal will come close to where I am. Females more often than males. These two seemed very relaxed.

Looking a bit ragged, perched atop a very tall tree. I did not see any others. I like to think this one flew off to be with its flock. (See video.)
It was enjoying the fall harvest of seeds. It was too busy eating to pay me any attention. See the tiny seed in its beak?

Another capture of a blue-headed vireo. I overexposed a bit its breast but it was difficult to meter right in this situation and I still like the pose

The bird stayed there for about 10 days then was gone. Long enough for a lot of avid birders to see it and photograph it and add it to their bird life list.
