Central Park - 29th Jan

A quick walk down to the feeders in Central Park this morning before work to catch up with a couple of nice birds that have been seen recently. First up was a fantastic little male Common Redpoll which has been hanging around the feeders for a few days. Also in the same area were 3 Fox Sparrows, a very unseasonal Chipping Sparrow, 3 House Finch, Downy Woodpecker, 3 Red-bellied Woodpecker and 2 Red-tailed Hawk.

Male Common Redpoll. Quite a few have been seen in various spots on Long Island, mostly in small flocks.
Mainly seen at the Nylger seed, along with other finches such as these American Goldfinch. Also  House Finch in the area.


This Chipping Sparrow is quite rare for the time of year.
Fox Sparrows are fast becoming my favourite sparrow. Absolutely spanking birds.

Male House Finch.
Two Red-tailed Hawks very active today.
