Common terns, common enough along the North Atlantic ocean shores, though far less common in upstate New York - the only ones you usually see around here are Caspian terns. These guys were much more petite, with lighter bills, longer tails and red rather than black legs. Much less timid too, didn't seem to mind as I drifted by on a kayak. They even had a fledge nearby they were still feeding, great to see!

Cackler! Sometimes in the massive flocks of Canada geese there's an imposter among them - a cackling goose. Cackling geese are much smaller than their Canadian cousins, but the best way to pick them out is by that short, stubby bill

With this apocalyptic warm weather in the northeast, there's plenty of melted open water for winter ducks, even where they wouldn't be expected. This lesser scaup was right local in my city park - what a pleasant sight! Albany County, NY, February 2023

Large wild turkey flock in the hometown, 40+ individuals. Fresh tracks in the snow and signs of ruffled feathers suggest they were stalked by coyotes the night before, though no indication of success on the part of the coyotes. Oswego County, NY, February 2023

I see #SuperbOwl trending - i suppose because of the Central Park eagle-owl escapee? 🤔 Well anyway I may as well join in: here's a crappy cell phone pic of a short-eared owl wintering not too far away. A delight to watch him hunt over the fields while there was still decent light.

A moulting female western tanager that wintered wayyy out of range in Manhattan last year. I waited 2 hours in the freezing cold, but, I was rewarded in the end!

Gray jays! I don't know quite how to describe it, but an encounter with a group of these guys feel different than just about any other bird or kind of wildlife. They are like the phantoms of the boreal forest. Franklin County, New York, December 2022
