Raptors in Central Park, NY - US
Hi All,
I was walking through Central Park this morning, and saw a couple of raptors. Fairly new to this game, so would like to know if I've got the ID's right: the first two pics in the tree I think are of a Merlin, the third, flying bird I think is a Red-tailed Hawk. Any info appreciated! Thanks, |
