Happy New Year

The new year started off on the right foot with an incredibly beautiful day. The temperature must have reached 60 and while there weren't many birds around many birders had come to the park looking for the Boreal Owl. Alas, the owl was nowhere to be found. Personally, I think the fireworks on New Year's Eve scared her away. They were very, very loud. I don't think there is anything like it in the Boreal forests of Canada.

I couldn't stay out all day because I had to get back and finish editing my book. I am about half-way through and will finish (God willing) tomorrow. For anyone who is interested the book is called, The Birds of Central Park, and will be published by Abrams later this year. It is a 208 page hardcover edition featuring some of my best photographs of Central Park birds.
