Red-tailed Hawk [Lola] on the Beresford

Bruce Yolton is a relatively new Central Park birder. On his website - www.yolton.com -- he describes the circumstances that started him off learning about and phographing Central Park birds. [It had to do with Christo's Gates]. On Saturday, a few hours after we observed the Screech-Owl fly-out, he sent me the pictures I posted that day.

Above and below are some other birds he saw and photographed earlier that day. The photos are followed by his complete list of sightings that afternoon,.

Brown Thrasher


Red-breasted Nuthatch

White-throated Sparrow

Tufted Titmouse

Northern Cardinal

Eastern Screech-Owl in London Plane-tree Roost Hole
some time before that evening's fly-out
