A Cardinal by the Lower Lobe of the Lake in Central Park; next picture is a butterball of a bird, the Black-throated Blue Warbler (see the white ‘handkerchief’ on the wing); a Redstart by the Evodia feeders & a Veery in the Ramble. #birdcpp #birding #birdwatching #CentralParkNYC

🚨 Please NEVER put sticky traps on trees to catch lanternflies! This practice is DEADLY to birds, bats, squirrels and loads of native insects, while being useless against the spread of lanternflies. This downy woodpecker was lucky only to have lost his tail.  📷: Phyllis Tseng
