The gull found a clam and dropped it on some rocks until it broke open and then ate it.

The hawk had been stalking a squirrel when it took some time off to get a drink of water from a nearby stream

This wood duck was perched in a tree perhaps 75-100 yards from the nearest water source.

This bird was using a nesting box built last year by students from Rocking The Boat school program. Not sure if this was a returning bird or a different one.

This juvenile was trying to catch a squirrel but failed to

This male was feeding on peanuts given to it by some bird watchers.

The Heron was fishing in the Bronx river

This hawk had been eating a chipmunk.

I was told that these birds had been suffering from disease and that we saw many of them was a sign that they were recovering from that disease.

Question: Is the black on the bird part of the feathers, or is the skin black like in polar bears to help keep it warm?

The hawk was hunting small birds

This pair seemed to be having a discussion of some type which the female appeared to be winning.

There were several male and female pairs feeding on pine cone seeds. I was told that these birds are rarely seen in NYC.

This bird soon after was seen taking a chickadee.

This bird seems to live nearby, I see him (her) every time I look for it. I've watched it catch many fish.

There were 2 groups of these birds and they appeared to be eating algae or some other plant matter on the rocks.

There are many of these small birds feeding on seeds across from the Hunt's Point Market

This was a male eating seeds near the East River

This usually fast little bird that hardly ever stays still for long remained in a bush very close to me for more than 5 minutes.

There were many of these birds feasting on the crab apples. I was surprised to see that they swallowed the whole thing.

We observed this immature bald eagle near Orchard Beach in the Bronx, NYC

The kestrel was in a tree and had just finished eating a small rodent of some type. We were able to get close because it's nesting box was near by and it was keeping an eye on it.
