NYC "wildlife" 2010 DUW!!!

Living in the big city we dont always see the we not always see how many different creatures live around us... most what we see are pigeons, squirrel, seagulls,some sparrows and *cough* rodents...

Fortunately NYC have plenty patches of greens smaller and bigger parks and such.

Unfortunately I dont have enough time last year to roar with my camera to often but i manage snatch few pictures.

Most of them are Birds.. but of course red ears sliders are in every city pound so one really handsome manage to get here as well...

Enjoy!!!

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing!

What is that rainbow colored dark bird ?

Some sort of blackbird or raven I would guess, but wow it's beautiful.

I think it's a starling, but not 100% sure.

I AM sure that the second picture is my favorite for subject and composition. But they're all simply beautiful!!
