3 and 5 for me Morris, that little sparrow in the leaves at eye level is super duper, and the hawk is a real head and shoulders portrait, you must have been close? Got a story to go with that one? Did he come to you or visa verse?

Thank you Jim,

There was quite a bit more than what I'm showing including the wood ducks I've already shown, northern shovelers and more. NYC is a birders paradise

Thank you Eric,

I had to wait for that sparow to get into a good spot. Yes there is a story with the hawk and it looks like you saw the post though you may not have read the story:

Well I'll be dipped, I did read that, and I wigged on it being the same hawk, same session, same day. I was going to say, if that keeps happening, we'd have to start calling you the Hawk Whisperer.
Thanks,
Eric
