Support Always amazing what an ornithological paradise New York is. Good capture! -- Radomianin (talk) 20:53, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. Great blue herons are definitely a favorite here. People are often shocked they exist in this region at all (as opposed to some tropical location), nevermind in the city. They can stand almost 1.5m tall, with a 2m wingspan, and a huge bill they use for snatching and stabbing prey. For that reason they're many people's "spark bird" -- the bird that gets someone more interesting in birding. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 21:39, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interesting explanations. In our area we are at least happy when we again can observe the flocks of cranes on their west European migration route. Greetings :) -- Radomianin (talk) 22:22, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
