These works are all open-edition prints. They represent some of my favorite photos from photographing wildlife in New York City, mostly Central Park.
The Park is an amazing place for birding. Over 200 species of birds call Central Park home during the year. Some of these species live here year round while others come and go during the spring and fall migrations. Every season here is exciting.
I hope you enjoy these photos. And if you decide to purchase one, please know a lot of passion, labor and love went into the print you will receive. Please enjoy it for many years to come.
