NYC Bird Alliance is deeply saddened by the loss of birder and photographer Lloyd Spitalnik, who passed way this August. Lloyd's remarkable bird photographs have graced our print publications and website for more than a decade. In addition to helping create the Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival, which just celebrated its 20th year, Lloyd co-led our organization's Camera Club with former board member David Speiser. NYC Bird Alliance remembers Lloyd for his deep knowledge of birds, passion for photography, and his sharp wit. 

David is working to write a tribute in celebration of his dear friend Lloyd, which we publish here. In the meantime, we have gathered a very small selection of some of many world-class bird photographs Lloyd graciously allowed our organization to use throughout the years, which you can scroll through below.
