Isn't this White-throated Sparrow just the cutest?! Those back markings are seriously on point, and peep that little pop of yellow near its eye! 😍 #whitethroatedsparrow #birds #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #birdsofny #hudsonvalley #usbirds #winterbirding #greatbackyardbirdcount

Cold day essentials: a warm perch and a tucked-up foot. This Red-tailed Hawk gets it. #redtailedhawk #birds #hudsonvalley #shawangunkgrasslands #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #staywarm #isitsummeryet #birdphotograhpy #birdsofny #raptors #nature #wildlife #photography #ulstercounty

Northern mockingbird - Queens, New York, March 2022. Honestly probably my favorite bird of my 550+ lifers.

That head tilt! This Cooper's Hawk seems to be pondering something deep. Spotted on the Empire State Trail in Kingston.

Feeling a bit blah today, but this little black-capped chickadee's mid-hop antics are making me smile. 😊 Sometimes it's the small things, right?

A tough break for the Red-bellied Woodpecker: its most brilliant feature is its red head, but the "Red-headed" name was already claimed.
What can it do? Put it's best foot forward and show off that crimson cap anyway.

Black-Capped Chickadees in winter are a photographer's dream! Their boldness makes them easy to photograph, and their cuteness is off the charts.

Who says you need a crowd to kick off Friday night? This cardinal is confident enough to hit the watering hole solo and get the weekend started on its own terms.
A true independent who knows how to have a good time. Cheers!

Leaked image from the ultra-secret Killdeer Bug Committee meeting. Sources say today's hot topic is: "Is a squishy grub with a hint of dirt actually better than a crunchy beetle with a lingering leaf aftertaste?" The debate is reportedly VERY heated.

This Barred Owl has the exact energy of a neighbor who hears a noise and silently judges you from their window.
That slow, 'I see you' head turn is everything. It's not mad, just... observing. And taking notes for the neighborhood watch report.

White-eyed vireo - Amityville, New York, March 2022. A lot of people were coming out to photograph this guy, and I reckon he might have known it - he would jump right out and pose for you, didn't even have to spend a moment searching!

Tufted Titmouse - Esopus, New York, January 2022.
Alright I'm just gonna go full #bird spam. I'll start with one of my favorite pictures - a curious tit looking down on me on an absolutely frigid winter morning along the Hudson River. What a cutie!
