Woodcock couldn’t decide whether to preen or dance and managed to do both at once Wednesday in @bryantparknyc #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birdcpp

One of the UWS barn owl fledglings roosted in the open yesterday after its nest was destroyed. This young, inexperienced bird didn’t know to conceal itself and was mobbed by songbirds all day. Thankfully all five fledglings were later accounted for. Cont’d #birdcpp

Central Park's Barred Owl waking from its slumber and gazing down--seemingly at us. Probably looking at squirrels...🦉🦉🦉#owls #centralpark #birdcpp

I don’t get many clear shots of Cooper’s Hawks for some reason, so i was thrilled to see this beauty on West 100th Street on my way to Central Park! 💯💯💯#hawks #centralpark #birdcpp

I had the most beautiful encounter with Mourning Doves this afternoon. Please note I was not offering any food. #birdcpp

I just saw a bald eagle in Central Park catch and kill another bird (seagull?) and got it on film. Actual coolest thing ever. #birdcpp

Red-tailed Hawk - The eyesight of this hawk is 8 times sharper than a human's eyesight which allows them to see a mouse from 100 feet away. Adults have an orange/red colored tail and dark brown eyes. Seen at the compost area #birdcpp @BirdCentralPark

A shocking and terrible wildlife crime: earlier today, I learned from residents of West 75th Street that workers were disassembling the roof of the water tower housing Manhattan’s first barn owl nest in modern history. Cont’d #birdcpp #nature #wildlife

Despite the illegal and thoughtless destruction of their nest in the UWS water tower, the Barn Owls continued to been see last night (10/30). We saw at least two on the top of the tower as well as flying around. #americanbarnowls #birdcpp

Saw the migrating eastern meadowlark last week. It had some unappreciated observers, including a Merlin, kestrel and a few red-tailed hawks. You can see he’s pretty jumpy in this video. #birdcpp

5 Barn Owls on an Upper West Side water tower! 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉What an incredible Manhattan moment! So grateful to witness such fabulous wildlife right here in our city. See my previous post for a close-up! #birdcpp, #NYCWildlife, #UrbanWildlife, #NYC
