Pale Male was on one of his favorite perches on Sunday Evening, an antenna on a building at 79th and Fifth. 

In the fall, raptors migrate over Central Park in great numbers when the winds are right.  Last weekend, I watched hawks from the Belvedere Castle terrace.   Among the raptors seen were a Broad-winged Hawk and Juvenile Bald Eagle.

I had lots of fun birding in Central Park this weekend.  It's a great time because you never know what you'll see and where.  A Red-tailed Hawk, a Brown Thrasher, Blackpoll Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, bright yellow male American Goldfinch, and some Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds where some of the highlights.

This one was calmly perching for about a half hour with small breaks in a patch of Jewelweed in the Upper Lobe area of Central Park's Lake.  It's so great to have them migrating though this time of year.

There were at least three Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds in the Jewelweed in a cove of Central Park's Lake called the Oven.  This one had a favorite perch making it easy to photograph.

After being away for Labor Day weekend, I made a visit to Washington Square Park.  One of the adults was on a flagpole, then the cross and then One Fifth Avenue.  I think it was Bobby.
