White Crowned Sparrow

Leaving the feeder up longer into nesting season has drawn in a wider variety of birds than we normally see. This white crowned sparrow is at the southern edge of its breeding range.

Midnight Drama

 

We have had barred owls hunting in our neighborhood lately.  The depressions in the snow indicate where some small rodent became lunch last night.

Note the wing marks in the snow (circled) on the left of the depressions.

Yes, Really...

So we were walking back down Broadway toward Times Square and I happened to look up while standing at 54th. There it was: Senor Wences Way. They really named a section of street in New York for a man who made a living talking to his own hand. It's a good gig if you can get it, I guess.

'Sallright.
