  1. I'm really tired of waiting for the decolonized new common names for North American birds. It was supposed to happen years ago, and I have a suspicion that a few old men are holding it back. Like everything else. Anyway, nice to see what should be called a Black-capped Yellow Warbler. And I don't rank birds, but if I did, waxwings would be top ten.

    91) Cedar Waxwing
    92) Band-tailed Pigeon
    93) Wilson's Warbler

  2. Today is #NationalBirdDay (at least in this benighted land) with this year’s theme, “a bird in flight is poetry in motion." Red-tailed Hawk, yesterday, at Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn.

  4. Nice wet morning walk at Jackson-Frazier Wetland, always a great place for raptors. Today was no exception. The red-shouldered and the harrier were both close and in perfect light. Sometimes it feels like the birds are blessing you.

    13) Red-shouldered Hawk
    14) Northern Flicker
    15) Bushtit
    16) Bewick's Wren
    17) American Robin
    18) Song Sparrow
    19) Spotted Towhee
