“12 political canvassers sued Mike Lawler's reelection campaign & several consulting firms for allegedly paying as little as $1 per door knocked & firing them after they complained about unfair labor practices. The defendants engaged in a fraudulent bait-and-switch, workers said”
I'm told that Mike Lawler's campaign informed Bloomberg that it is "revoking all RSVPs and press credentials for Bloomberg reporters." The Lawler campaign told Bloomberg any reporter who tries to attend will be "treated as a trespasser."

🦉UWS Barn Owl Update: OWL ACCOUNTED FOR All 7 owls (2 adults + 5 fledglings) were spotted on Sunday night. They seem to no longer be using the water tank to roost. Feedings are taking place elsewhere according to @nycbirdalliance. The owls appear to be adjusting to their new circumstances and have found alternative roosting locations (sound like true Manhattanites, if you ask me). We’re hoping any further repairs to the water tank where the owls were roosting will be delayed one more week by @NYSDEC to ensure the owls’ safety, since a few were spotted perching on the tower last night. Thank you again to NYC Bird Alliance staff and volunteers, and the many concerned New Yorkers who continue to monitor the Manhattan barn owls. OWL WE NEED IS LOVE 🥰

Great news. I’ve just confirmed with @nycbirdalliance that the barn owl fledglings have been observed and remain in their nest on West 75th. Work has been stopped at the site. I remain in contact with @NYSDEC about how to ensure the nest remains safe from disturbances moving forward. Thank you to the Bird Alliance for their continued work and updates.
The roof of this Upper West Side water tank was removed earlier today, destroying an active nest of the well-known Barn Owl family that lived there, despite federal and state laws protecting such nests. The DEC is on site to investigate.

Multiple groups are out around West 75th Street looking for a sight of any of the Barn owls in the aftermath of the water tower roof getting removed earlier today. Nobody has seen them. Vibes are low.

The red-tailed hawk was still in Madison Square Park on Wednesday morning, chasing squirrels. Parks workers told me it caught and ate one earlier in the morning, as well as yesterday. I saw it try but fail to grab one off the side of a large tree tree. #birdcpp #birds #birding
