He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.

For your next trick, I’d like to see a Cape May warbler (Dendroica tigrina) perched beside the ultra-rare New Jersey warbler (Dendroica fuhgettaboudit).
@Kirby: I think that you might have your scientific names confused. I though Dendroica fuhgettaboudit was the even-rarer Brooklyn Warbler while the New Jersey Warbler was Dendroica whatsthatodor. 🙂
Haha you fooled me! I was expecting some post about a surprise road trip that combined the Grande Olde Oprey (or however it’s spelled in old-fashioned, rural Americanese) with southern swamp birding. Cool photo.
Wait a minute, that’s not a Tennessee, that’s an Old World Phylloscopus warbler!
🙂
No, it’s not, it is *GASP* a YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON!!
