We have mostly sparrows here across the street from Riverside Park, but every so often other birds and bird songs. I wish I knew the bird songs so I would know who was there.
Saw two robins in the early spring. For a while there was an owl in the park. Sometimes a seagull gets lost, takes a wrong turn at Staten Island or something, and complains like hell about it.
The sparrows walk around my feet when I walk to the subway in the morning. I guess they know me by now and know I won’t chase them like some baddy kids do.
I saw a roadrunner trying (unsuccessfully) to catch a grasshopper in an office parking lot. :)
Forgot the pigeons, but they are mostly on Broadway where they can find stuff to eat.
I have a cool application for my phone...called “Song Sleuth” that can identify birds.
If you hear a bird song, you can pull out your phone, launch the app, begin recording, and if you can get a second of two of the song, you can hit an “Identify” button.
Often, there is more than one choice, ranked by likelihood. It works really well, but the problem is, sometimes you just cannot get the phone out and recording before the bird flies away or stops singing. Ya gotta be quick!
