A cute photo but a deeply sad backstory. This is an orphaned bear cub that sits high in a tree, above the body of its mother that was hit and killed by a car 2 days prior. Animal rescue was en route when I took this. I hope the little one does better now. #catskills @NYSDEC

If we see NYC0146, we'll let you know! Meanwhile, get to know the whale in @MattNoome's award-winning photo and the other #HumpbackWhales in our new series of stories from the sea: gothamwhale.org/stories-from…
Check out this awesome story just published by @gothamwhale about whale NYC0146, whose fluke is prominently featured in my @wnphotoawards 2021 winning photo. The whale was first sighted in New York waters in June 2016. Hope to see it again this season! gothamwhale.org/2022/03/nyc0…

New York City wildlife never ceases to amaze me. A barred owl in the middle of midtown Manhattan in @bryantparknyc! Unfazed by hundreds of people enjoying the park. Loud traffic. Sirens. Surrounded by tall buildings. This owl was right at home #birdcpp – at Manhattan, NY

This is so cool! The whale from my winning image has been identified as whale NYC0146. I hope he/she is doing well and still frequenting our waters. Thanks @gothamwhale for identifying!

Hey @HudsonRiverPark, is there really not a better way to collect 100% compostable & biodegradable leafs than by putting them in plastic bags? This seems unnecessary & wasteful at a time when everyone should be reducing their single-use plastics usage. #ParkOverPlastic – at Manhattan, NY

Goosebumps. Listen to this speech and hold your political leaders accountable. Remember this next time you're in a voting booth. #COP26
Did you miss the full speech from #COP26 People’s Advocate, Sir David Attenborough? 💬 We’ve got you covered. 📺 Watch his full speech on @YouTube #TogetherForOurPlanet | #ClimateAction

Bella the bear made another appearance at my #Catskills camera trap earlier this summer! She has 3 young cubs with her, just like 2 years ago when I first captured her on camera. They all seem to be in good shape. @NYSDEC xitter.cf/MattNoome/status/13393…
Update on Bella the bear, who I photographed last year together with her cub in the Catskills. I hope they're both doing OK!

One of her cubs messed with my camera so I didn't get any good photos unfortunately. Later, another bear came by and knocked over one of the light stands. All part of the fun of #cameratrapping!

This is so sad.

#DYK Woodchucks (AKA groundhogs) are the largest members of the squirrel family in NYS? Females have only one litter each year. Chucks born in the spring leave the burrow permanently in midsummer to search for their own territory. #WildlifeWednesday 📷: @MattNoome

These owlets are getting big! It won't be long before they'll move out. I took this video yesterday afternoon in Pelham Bay Park. Mom was probably around but I couldn't find her. I did get a surprise visit from a white-tailed deer though @BirdBronx #birdcpp

Spent a good part of the afternoon watching them. They were pretty active and curiously looking around. Highly entertaining, if you ask me!

The exact moment this little Eastern screech owl coughs up an owl pellet. I have yet to see it together with its mate, but fingers crossed we get some fluffy screech owlets in later in spring! #birdcpp

Finally had the chance yesterday to go see the Central Park snowy owl. She's worth the hype! #birdcpp – at Manhattan, NY
