i really like that every year or two we get a new weird bird that totally destabilizes the entire city and briefly sends even the most bird-agnostic (or, hell, even bird-hostile!) into an ornithological frenzy
New Yorkers and tourists are flocking to Bryant Park to get a glimpse of New York City’s hottest bird this spring, the American Woodcock. These elusive, well-camouflaged birds pause during their migration to forage for earthworms, presenting a unique urban birding opportunity.
