Central Park in New York

Kohtumisi Central Park'is, New York'is

Cardinal was fighting with his mirror image



Squirrels owned the Park

Lammitilder / Tringa stagnatilis / Marsh Sandpiper

Rather rare in Estonia. A pin sharp bill and green long legs make the bird very elegant.

Ohakalind / Carduelis carduelis / Goldfinch

Large flock of Goldfinches (estimated 1000 birds, photo covers part of it) on an ungathered field. Supposedly largest one evidenced in Estonia.

Värbkakk / Glaucidium passerinum / Pygmy Owl

Eyes tell themselves, don't they?

Merikotkas / Haliaetus albicilla / White-tailed Eagle

Young White-tailed Eagle approaching. At those moments you don't feel cold and tiny space in the hide.

Ronk / Corvus corax / Raven

That raven was just hanging up-side-down, ... enjoying life, looking left and right. That lasted for 25 seconds until the raven glided down towards the others. They do entertain and they know how to do that :)
