I swear, they must be following me around. You might get the impression that there are no birds in NYC parks, only squirrels. My "brilliant" selection of Birdcam placement was, yet again, a flop. I put the camera in a spot where I have seen various species of waterfowl resting on the shoreline ... for years! It sees so much bird foot traffic that they have worn out a small section of shore right down to the dirt. The week that I chose to place a camera on the shore, not one bird, duck or otherwise, passed anywhere near the camera. I am 0 for 3. This is who filled up the memory card in the camera -
I have a good idea. Stay tuned for my next attempt.

Good job with the NYTimes piece about Ridgewood Reservoir!
ReplyDeleteThis Massachusetts resident must also post personal thanks to you for your past blog about the black-capped chickadees at the Elizabeth Morton National Wildlife Refuge. I visited 2 weeks ago, with seed, and was thrilled to enjoy the company of about 30 chickadees. Thanks so much!
