Description
It doesn’t get much more urban than New York City. But, Central Park is a premier birding site and I look forward to going there whenever I visit my daughter and her family. The Tufted Titmouse is apparently a common resident, though in all the times I’ve been to the park, this is my first sighting of them. An older gentleman sits on a bench and feeds the birds from a large container he brings in on rollers. That’s peanut butter he’s spread liberally on the trees in front of his bench. I don’t know how often he comes to the park, but I recall seeing him in the exact same spot 2 years ago.
Specific Feedback
Any thoughts appreciated.

How lovely. The story and the images.
I’m loving this challenge. I see birds posted on the internet and wish I was at that place to photograph them. Then I walk down my paddock, or drive 10 minutes down the road and I find an amazing variety of birds. Maybe a little common, but none-the-less beautiful.

Allen, wow did you get close. I really like #1 and #2. Of course when someone is feeding them directly they will come close. In fact, Titmouse (as well as Chickadees) are known to be hand feedable with some time spent. I vaguely remember a long ago photo (not on NPN) of a Chickadee plucking a sunflower seed from someone’s mouth. I did wonder about that wierd insect in #3

A very nice series of this little bird, Allen. I like all three images with #2 being a marginal favorite. I’ve read about Central Park birding any number of times since many of the early ornithologists spent a lot of time there.
