I encountered this adorableness, an American Kestrel in Lower East Side waterfront park during my lunch break today. It’s quite obvious that he’s just posing for me. 🥰😍 #americankestrel #kestrels #falcon #birdwatching #wildlife

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) was in view this Saturday evening from Central Park in the western sky, but much dimmer than last weekend and with a shorter tail.

Our elected officials can celebrate climate week by prioritizing local public green space like Elizabeth Street Garden. You can’t truly be behind climate justice while you’re allowing community gardens & parks to be bulldozed when more viable solutions exist.

Get There Green! is a week to promote and celebrate more sustainable modes of transportation. During this week everyone is encouraged to join in a week of climate-action by using a more sustainable mode of transportation for as many trips as they can.

I really love these birds. Partly because it’s fun to say Bobolink, partly because they’re so rare in NYC, partly because of their constant chatter, and also because they’re so handsome

Elizabeth St Garden is not only a beautiful place to rest, we’re also crucial to the urban environment by: - cooling the city down - collecting storm water runoff - maintaining healthy air quality - benefiting mental health - boosting the socioeconomics of our neighborhood

🎉 Thank you Senator @BradHoylman for your leadership and dedication to the protection and #conservation of wild #birds! 🐦🐦‍⬛🦉
Breaking news 🚨🚨Today, in honor of the owl who captured all of our hearts, the Senate passed the FLACO Act. This law would require state owned buildings to use materials designed to reduce bird collisions and prevent unnecessary bird deaths. Flaco this one’s for you!
