While the declining American Woodcock is usually found in early successional and young forest habitat, these birds are often spotted in urban areas like NYC's parks during migration! This one lucky bird made the #1 spot in the Audubon Photography Award's Top 100 honorable mentions: https://bit.ly/3az3uYE

Can you believe it's fledgling season already? "Fledglings" are baby birds which have left the nest and can fly a little, but still rely on their parents to feed them. If you spot what you think is an abandoned baby bird, it might just be a fledgling! Keep a safe distance and watch for up to 1 hour to see if the parents return.

Bird flu update! "Should I take down my feeders?"

🐦Removing feeders as a precautionary measure is never a bad idea! Since it's spring (yes, we realize it just snowed), food resources are generally more abundant. We do recommend taking down feeders when bird flu is active in wild birds in your region. Stay up-to-date via the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the CDC map below. This is also a good moment to wash feeders with soap and/or bleach to reduce the chances of infection!

The CDC is maintaining a helpful interactive map showing counties in which bird flu has been detected in wild birds. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/data-map-wild-birds.html
