A little bird with an extraordinary journey. 🍂🐦⁠ ⁠ A little bird with an extraordinary journey. 🍂🐦⁠ ⁠ The Blackpoll Warbler may look unassuming in its fall plumage, but it's one of the great long-distance migrants. Many make an incredible nonstop flight over the Atlantic Ocean to wintering grounds in South America.⁠ ⁠ Photographed by Sheila Epstein during one of our Fall 2026 Tuesday Morning Walks in Central Park, this little traveler reminds us how remarkable migration can be.⁠ ⁠ 📷 Blackpoll Warbler | Sheila Epstein⁠ ⁠ #LinnaeanSociety #CentralParkBirding #BlackpollWarbler #FallMigration #BirdMigration #NYCBirding #Warblers
A little sunshine among the pine needles. 🌲💛⁠ ⁠ Tr A little sunshine among the pine needles. 🌲💛⁠ ⁠ True to its name, the Pine Warbler has a special fondness for pine trees, where it searches the branches for insects and spiders. Its soft yellow coloring blends beautifully with the greens and golds of the changing season.⁠ ⁠ Spotted during our Fall 2026 Tuesday Morning Walks in Central Park and photographed by Adisha Verma, this Pine Warbler offered a lovely glimpse of autumn migration.⁠ ⁠ 📷 Pine Warbler | Adisha Verma⁠ ⁠ #LinnaeanSociety #CentralParkBirding #PineWarbler #FallMigration #BirdPhotography #NYCBirding #Warblers
A woodpecker with a sweet tooth. 🍁⁠ ⁠ The Yellow-b A woodpecker with a sweet tooth. 🍁⁠ ⁠ The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker earns its name by drilling neat rows of small holes in tree bark and returning to drink the sap. These sap wells also attract insects, giving the bird another source of food.⁠ ⁠ A familiar fall migrant in Central Park, this striking woodpecker was photographed by Adisha Verma during one of our Fall 2026 Tuesday Morning Walks.⁠ ⁠ 📷 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker | Adisha Verma⁠ ⁠ #LinnaeanSociety #CentralParkBirding #YellowBelliedSapsucker #FallMigration #Woodpeckers #BirdPhotography #NYCBirding
A flash of yellow in the fall undergrowth. 🍁⁠ ⁠ Wi A flash of yellow in the fall undergrowth. 🍁⁠ ⁠ With its bright yellow undertail and habit of constantly bobbing its tail, the Palm Warbler is a lively sight during fall migration. Unlike many warblers that stay high in the treetops, Palm Warblers often forage low in shrubs or even walk along the ground.⁠ ⁠ Adisha Verma photographed this beautiful bird during our Fall 2026 Tuesday Morning Walks in Central Park.⁠ ⁠ 📷 Palm Warbler | Adisha Verma⁠ ⁠ #LinnaeanSociety #CentralParkBirding #PalmWarbler #FallMigration #BirdPhotography #NYCBirding #Warblers

Remembering Elise Bainbridge. ❤️⁠ ⁠ For so many ye Remembering Elise Bainbridge. ❤️⁠ ⁠ For so many years, Elise was a familiar presence in Central Park, especially in the Ramble, where her love for birds was woven into her daily life.⁠ She watched them, cared for them, painted them, and shared that love with the many birders and park regulars who came to know her over the years. For those who spend time in Central Park, she became part of the fabric of the place itself.⁠ ⁠ We are grateful for Elise’s enduring love and care for Central Park’s birds and for the beauty she created in their honor.⁠ ⁠ She will be deeply missed by the Central Park and New York birding communities.⁠ ⁠ Rest in peace, Elise. 🕊️⁠ ⁠ #LinnaeanSociety #LSNY #CentralPark #CentralParkBirds #NYCBirding #BirdingCommunity
