You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away
(Click to enlarge)
This swan has good reason to be sitting on her nest, hiding in the reeds–one of her eggs had been stolen the year before by a so-called human.

They Live Among Us

Looking like some ancient pterodactyl, the Brown Pelicans seem to have no fear at all of humans in the water, and merrily go their way swooping among us diving for fish.

Scarlet Macaws

They have to be my favorite birds ever, otherworldly in their beauty. The macaws would fly by our hotel room balcony in twos or threes, around twice a day. Fortunately, their raucous call alerts one to drop everything else and pick up a camera.

This Spotted Sandpiper, an infrequent guest to Prospect Park, is surrounded by the shedding feathers of the more plentiful Canada Geese. Thanks to the highly experienced birders of the Brooklyn Bird Club for the bird ID.

Squabble in the Grass: Osprey Vs. Great Egret
(Click to enlarge)
The Great Egret had the bad misfortune to make its nest in the grass about 30 feet under the Osprey’s nest, which contained several baby ospreys. The large Osprey came dive bombing against the Egret several times, but each time the Egret ducked its head back into the grassy nest and eluded the swooping Osprey.

This was a lifer for me. It’s identifiable as a Common Gallinule and not a Purple Gallinule because of the white striping on the side.
