Enjoyed your videos and music soundtracks. The subway ride is the urban equivalent to the walk to the tree through the woods, good camera work on the train. The mystery bird is a male Eastern Towhee, they sometimes hold over in slightly warmer coastal arts of the northeast instead of going all the way south. The female Red-bellied Woodpecker may be on a black birch but it could be black cherry too. Nice work, always enjoyable for me to combine birding and tree-ing :-) -AJ
