Barred owl around dusk recently in Central Park gazing at some frantic mourning doves. Taken at a respectful distance and at 1/1.6 of a second no flash used. #birdcpp

Central Park coyote Romeo exploring one of the park’s bodies of water recently this summer. #birdcpp

Laughing Gulls at the reservoir early morning. Very spontaneous and difficult to photograph as I don’t normally do birds in flight but currently still working on it. Making an Instagram account so follow: shotby_.ronnie16 #birdcpp

Always nice to see wildlife thriving in urban areas. Red-Tailed Hawk by Central Park South today. #birdcpp

First good photography session in Central Park in a long time when I stumbled upon this adult red-tailed hawk and its fledgling who is still learning how to properly fly. #birdcpp

Since the long eared owls have departed here’s a photo I took the other day when on turned it’s head my way. The views and lighting weren’t the best but still grateful for another encounter with this owl. This was taken at a respectful distance and low shutter speed. #birdcpp

Challenging conditions with both lighting and views but still managed to get a shot of this long eared owl in Central Park today. #birdcpp

Excited to share my very first coyote photo taken in Central Park. I saw both Romeo and Juliet the other day and I believe that this is Romeo as he was the significantly larger coyote. Taken from a respectful distance with a very slow shutter speed with my bridge camera. #birdcpp

Now that the Barred Owls gone here’s a photo I took around dusk when she flew down from the canopy and landed on a log on the other side of the stream, where she stared at the water for about 10 minutes before flying off to hunt. #owls #birdcpp #birdphotography

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get any good shots of saw whet owl but to make up for it, I was able to encounter green-winged teal and this cooperative song sparrow during golden hour by the pool yesterday. @CentralParkNYC #birdphotography #birdcpp

Here are three additional photos I took of the hummingbird today @CentralParkNyc. #BirdSeenin2025 #birdphotography #birdcpp

For 7 months that I’ve started bird photography I learned that your photography skill is more important than the gear. I took these photos during my 2nd ever encounter with a hummingbird in @CentralParkNyc with my bridge camera (Panasonic fz80). #BirdsSeenin2025 #birdcpp
