Juvenile

They were fighting. I walked up to them and broke up the fight. Both of the starlings were OK and flew away.

White bars on wings

RIP lil bud

Near Cunningham Park, Queens

My first time seeing a skunk in Queens. I've seen one in a cemetery in Brooklyn and in upstate NY, but never in Queens.

One of the only few bird species singing beautiful during the last hour of daylight

A large tree. I don't think I've come across an American beech tree in Alley Pond Park that isn't infected with BLD. It's gotten much worse it seems in the last few years : (

Chip calls

On a nest

With @natureenthusiast05

I think Chinney swift or perhaps a warbler

At seconds 8 and 19

At a vernal pool. Rusty cap, dark line through the eye. Reddish brown in the wings helps to distinguish from Chipping sparrow. Gray face.

Three babies. One on a branch and two in a tree cavity. Both adults nearby.

The owl was calling for a while and then went inside the cavity in a large Chestnut oak

Screechy call from seconds 10-13

Sounding a bit like horses. The one with the pink legs is probably a Herring gull
