A Hairy Woodpecker finding some bugs for breakfast today @rockefellerstatepark #rockefellerstatepark #birdphotography🐦

A few pictures from this week @rockefellerstatepark, including a sparrow with its mouth full, catbirds, turkeys, chipmunks, and a wood duck on Swan Lake.

Young tree swallow getting breakfast yesterday @rockefellerstatepark - there are two swallows in the nesting box who get into a shoving match to see who will get their head outside - the one that wins gets breakfast !😊

Warm and humid @rockefellerstatepark today, but a few birds braved the weather! Here are some shots of sparrows, house finches, a female red-winged blackbird, and a juvenile tree sparrow peering out from a nesting box.

A few pictures from recent hikes @rockefellerstatepark including a few sparrows, red-winged blackbird, house wren, baltimore oriole, goldfinch, catbird, and a cedar waxwing

A goldfinch and its meal, an oriole, an indigo bunting (first one for me!), and a house finch taken @rockefellerstatepark this past week.

I haven't been to @rockefellerstatepark this week until today due to the heat - not many birds out when I was there but I photographed an goldfinch, two chipping sparrows (one juvenile), and a female rosebreasted grosbeak. #birdphotography #rockefellerstateparkpreserve

Caught this Pileated Woodpecker looking for food in a tree next to Swan Lake @rockefellerstatepark last week.#birdphotography #rockefellerstateparkpreserve #pileatedwoodpecker

I've seen a few flocks of young swallows on the Barnyard Hill Trail @rockefellerstatepark, and here are some of the pictures. The Merlin App tells me they are a combination of tree swallows and northern rough-winged swallows. #rockefellerstateparkpreserve #birdphotography

One of my fellow birders, @rockefellerstatepark (thanks, Pat), pointed out this oriole fledgling sitting on its nest, trying to decide if it will fly. #rockefellerstateparkpreserve #birdphotography #oriolebird
