The photographer, Bob Levy, writes; On Friday February 22, arguably the most wintry of days so far this season, as six inches of snow covered Central Park and more was falling I heard a male Northern Cardinal sing. That was the first cardinal song I detected this year and I took it as a musical sign that Spring is near. Since then I have heard other males sing and just yesterday I saw…

Long-eared Owl, Asia otus, in Central Park.

Bob Levy writes: Did you know there are two Long-eared owls in Central Park this winter? They perch together in the Pinetum. My camera is not powerful enough to get a decent shot of them. Here's a not-ready-for-prime-time-posting-image of one. The other perches too deep inside an adjacent tree. There have been reports of a third but I have never seen it.

Glass and Sky #3.
(Lincoln Center skyscrapers).

Yesterday, it was quite cold and breezy in NYC, but the conditions were superb for photographing the city, especially in the afternoon, when I captured some lovely images of Lincoln Center skyscrapers illuminated by the dying sun. This is my favorite of the three "Glass and Sky" images I am sharing with you here. I especially like it because of the contrasting colors of the buildings and their placement in the image…

NYC subway stations at 72nd and Broadway (foreground; the 1-2-3 trains stop here).
You can see some snow is still present.

I captured this image yesterday in the late afternoon. One thing that I find fascinating about NYC buildings is the close proximity of old and new buildings. For example, the subway stations are old buildings along with another one, on the far right (which is being worked on, as you can see), but the buildings to the left and in the center (background) are…

I took a brief break from the AMNH tile artworks to show you this bronze cast on the downtown platform. I have repeatedly photographed this and the other bronze casts that are there, hoping that I can get some decent images to share with you. Unfortunately,…
