The Central Park Effect
I made my first ever birding trip to Central Park accompanied by filmaker Jeff Kimball who is responsible for a great documentary that has recently been released called Birders: The Central Park effect. You must check it out as it is incredible. www.centralparkbirdfilm.com

I had two new birds today: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Brown Creeper. Was well pleased with those. We also dipped on Barred Owl, Saw-whet Owl, Iceland Gull and a wayward Black-headed Gull!
I’ll tell you one thing though, it was bloody freezing out there today!!
Glad you got your creeper!
Hello, David.
I love your blog and pictures!
I'd just like to point out that your Red-tailed Hawk is actually a Cooper's Hawk with those yellow eyes, long and round tail, and even breast streaking.
Check out my blog: The Addicted Birder!
Good birding!
