It's Spring! It's World Sparrow Day! How much better can it get?!
I visited last week, Green-Wood Cemetery, Dead Horse Bay, and today, The Salt Marsh at Marine Park and Floyd Bennett Field after work today. I got to enjoy some winter favorites before they go and welcome some early migrants.

Welcome back, little Golden-crowned Kinglet!
Fly catching last week on our 60+ degree day. |
 |
| A winter favorite that will soon fly up north... the Fox Sparrow. One of my favorite sparrows! |
 |
| It was so warm last Friday, the Common Snapper at the Dell Water made it to the surface. I want to free its poor face of all those awful leeches! |
 |
| Another great sparrow, who sings a very sweet song- the white-throated sparrow. |
 |
| Corvids do not like raptors.... A young red tail gets dive-bombed. |
 |
| A raccoon that was either hung-over or sick. Found it laid out on the ground, making sure it wasn't dead, I clapped and woke it up and it sauntered off like a groggy mess. |
 |
| A special bird, a common redpoll, who was hanging out among a flock of American Goldfinch. |
 |
| It was very reliant upon the sweet gum seed pods. |
 |
| A low Turkey Vulture over Dead Horse Bay last Saturday. |
 |
Today at the salt marsh.
Welcome back! Laughing Gull! |
 |
| Welcome Back! Osprey! |
 |
| Oh hai! |
 |
| Crows are NOT the welcome crew... |
 |
| Oh, another great sparrow, an American Tree Sparrow! |
 |
| Welcome back! Eastern Phoebe! |
 |
| Welcome Back! American Oystercatcher! |
