Yesterday's Commute Bird, seen at the Central Park Pool: a Dark-Eyed Junco perched on my bicycle's front wheel. #birds 🪶

Good morning! Last week I had a ton of fun birding with great friends at El Remolar right next to the Barcelona airport... we got destroyed by mosquitos though. One of the highlights: this very cute common kingfisher / martín pescador / blauet (alcedo atthis) #birds 🪶

This photo is from 2024 but it's one of my favorites! A blackbird going full Narcissus on its own reflection #birds 🪶

Por ahora las encuestas apuntan a una derrota histórica de los republicanos, en plan perdiendo en Texas y cosas así, con lo que es posible que las elecciones yanquis acaben ayudando a Pedro Sánchez.

Work has been a nightmare so I'm missing almost all of fall migration 😔 but a week ago I got to see this Common Yellowthroat / Mascarita Común at the park #birds 🪶

Swallows are slowest in the mornings when they’re feeding and dust bathing lowly across the sand Although slow is relative as these birds continuously zip through the sky I crouched low for this moment; watching the barn swallows bank and steer their way across the sand path ahead of me 📷🌿🪶

Good morning! Today's Commute Bird, seen before it started raining: this Black-Throated Green Warbler/Reinita dosiverde (Setophaga virens) #birds 🪶

Spotted today on my way to work through Central Park: a bird with one of the best names in English, an American Wigeon. And a bird with one of the worst names, a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak.

Lots of very dramatically lit birds on today's commute through Central Park! Here's two, an Eastern Kingbird (tirano oriental) and a Green Heron (garcita verde) #birds 🪶

Good morning! I spotted this Eastern Kingbird/Tirano Oriental (Tyrannus Tyrannus) at the Harlem Meer, on my way home from work. You can actually see the bug that it's trying to catch! #birds 🪶

Good morning! Today's Commute Bird: an ovenbird/reinita hornera (Seiurus aurocapilla) seen in the underbrush by the Central Park Pool #birds 🪶

Today's Commute Bird: A Solitary Sandpiper (Tringa Solita) closes its eyes as it tries to catch some underwater bug. Seen at the Central Park Pool #birds 🪶

Good morning! Let's see if I can get back to my old birdposting routine... here's one of today's Commute Birds: One of the two Solitary Sandpipers (Tringa Solitaria) that was meeping and feeding around the Central Park Pool this morning #birds 🪶

This kind of sucks. Monk Parakeets have completely taken over my home city of Barcelona in a couple of decades, and they will eventually take over NYC displacing native birds. I really love cardinals and bluejays, I don't want them gone 😞

Sorry for the lack of bird photos - I haven't been able to ride my bike through Central Park due to work + a stupid injury 😑. Instead here's a photo I took with my Yashica about a month ago: The Burnett Fountain at the Central Park Conservatory Garden #filmphotography 📷

Bueno esto es un recorte de lo que grabado con el telescopio y es que nos ha pasado un avión por delante. 😅

Hey everyone! I don't want to cause a scene, please keep your cool, but I think that THE WARBLERS ARE BACK #birds 🪶

I'm a total believer in this, weekends as they are now are too short. WEEKENDS SHOULD BE 3 DAYS: -1 DAY FOR RESTING -1 DAY FOR CHORES -1 DAY FOR FUN (i.e birding) It makes total sense! It might seem like it's an utopian goal but so was the 8-hr workday! We can do this!

Bonus Commute Bird: This Barn Swallow pretending to be a Black Skimmer #birds 🪶

Good morning! Lately I've been seeing chimney swifts and barn swallows dipping into the water on the Harlem Meer. Are they drinking? Eating water bugs? Bathing? / Buenos días! Últimamente veo golondrinas y vencejos metiéndose en el agua del Harlem Meer. Están comiendo? Bebiendo? Bañándose? #birds 🪶

This other photo from today's commute is not the sharpest but I think it's pretty cool: a Barn Swallow holding a bunch of bugs in its beak, I guess it's preparing a meal for some fledglings! #birds 🪶

Today's Commute Bird: One of the Cedar Waxwings hunting for bugs at the Central Park Pool / Visto hoy de camino al trabajo: uno de los varios ampelis americanos que estaban cazando bichos al vuelo en la Pool de Central Park #birds 🪶

Seen today on my way to work through Central Park: a Red-Tailed Hawk on a light pole being mobbed by a Blue Jay. #birds 🪶

Someone's brother-in-law has a porta-pottie rental business

It took me a couple of seconds to figure out what was that white spot right under this yellow-rumped warbler 😬 #PhotoFailFriday 🪶 #birds #worstbirdpic

Another Commute Bird from this morning: A Red-Bellied Woodpecker (Carpintero de Carolina) that I guess got tired of pecking wood and switched to berries #birds 🪶

Hah today I captured the exact moment when this Eastern Kingbird found its breakfast! #birds 🪶

Good morning! Today's Commute Bird, seen at the Harlem Meer in Central Park: an Eastern Kingbird / Tirano Oriental #birds 🪶

This Northern Flicker I photographed last week with closed eyes and tongue sticking out is actually a male! Reposting with the correct ID. Apologies to the flicker 😅 #birds 🪶

Today's Commute Bird seen in Central Park on my way to work: a Yellow-Billed Cuckoo/cuclillo piquigualdo! Apparently there was a black-billed one around the Pool but I missed that one, it would have been pretty cool to do a double cuckoo 😜 #birds 🪶

Today's commute bird, seen at the Central Park Pool: one of my favorites again, the Common Yellowthroat/Mascarita #birds 🪶

Today's commute bird is this very iridescent grackle (zanate común) that graciously posed for a portrait. Again, if any birds out here need a nice author photo contact me! #birds 🪶

I love that this guy is called Common Yellowthroat in English but in Spanish it's named for its other striking feature: Mascarita (little mask). I love Mascarita but then females and immatures do not have a mask, so Yellowthroat is probably more accurate! #birds 🪶 (this time with tags!)

Some more birds I got to see on my work trip to Santa Ana, CA: an American Avocet, a Brown Pelican and an Allen's Hummingbird on a stick. / pájaros vistos en mi viaje de trabajo a Santa Ana, CA: una avoceta americana, un pelícano pardo y un colibrí de Allen posado en un palito #birds 🪶

These are two of my favorite photos I took over my week in Santa Ana, CA: a Hudsonian Whimbrel backlit by a California beach sunset. #birds 🪶

Of course in preparation for this I left the East Coast, I'm about to land in LA. 😩 On the other hand I'm hoping to see some cool West Coast birds! Maybe!

This morning it was overcast and drizzling in Central Park, so I (stupidly) decided to try taking photos of rough-winged swallows in flight. I ended up with 900 shots, all of them at ISO25600 and 75% looking like this: #birds 🪶

This morning I wasn't very successful with warbler photos today, but this afternoon I was able to take this nice portrait of the raven chicks at St. John The Divine #birds 🪶

Sometimes I take non-bird photos with my Yashica Mat124G. This one is from a few months ago - The Upper West Side as seen from The Ramble at Central Park 📸 #photography #blackandwhite
