WINGS Birding Tours – Photo Gallery

New York City

A WINGS Big City Weekend

Nowhere in New York is as evocatively beautiful as Central Park in spring… …when common migrants like Blackpoll Warbler… …share the leafing trees with declining birds such as Golden-winged Warbler… …and southern overshoots such as Yellow-throated Warbler… …and Prothonotary Warbler. The park’s quiet corners have a remarkable set of breeding birds, too… …from brash Red-bellied Woodpeckers… …to the more retiring Red-eyed Vireo. Just a short subway ride away is Jamaica Bay… …where herons stalk fish and frogs… …and Black Skimmers—how shall we put it?—skim. Marsh Wrens chatter and buzz from the emergent vegetation… …while Short-billed Dowitchers and a multitude of shorebirds patrol the flats.
