According to @Team_eBird ratings, this is the best #bird photo I took in 2020. Pied-billed Grebe on the @CentralParkNYC Reservoir back in Feb when the world was a bit different...
Thanks iPhone for producing this surreal memory of photos documenting a mass window collision event at Circa Central Park on Nov 2, 2019, set to a jaunty soundtrack. Just what I needed. 🥺🫣

Glue traps should never be outside, especially not on trees. This is deadly for birds, native insects and other wildlife and useless against the larger lanternfly problem. @NYCParks, can someone please remove these?

We are pleased to see hints of change finally happening at Circa Central Park, one of the city's most hazardous buildings for birds. "This N.Y.C. Building Is in the Bird-Killing Hall of Shame. It Wants Out." — @CatrinEinhorn nyti.ms/47aql4D
Three little birds; near death on Circa Central Park’s doorstep. 😡 Recused these poor migrating kinglets this morning after they collided with Circa’s windows and transported to @wildbirdfund

This is so misguided. @NYCParks @FortTryon_Park please remove these before they kill lots of birds and other animals. Glue traps have also been seen in Inwood Hill Park. There are safer methods.
Saw these in @FortTryon_Park—seems like a good way to kill an insignificant number of spotted lantern flies while also killing native insects and probably birds

Please don’t enter roped off areas as there’s shorebird nests like Clark Kent’s here. Both plover parents incubate the eggs. Dogs, kites, drones & humans entering closed areas all cause nest loss & abandonment. Please give them space during this critical time. #protecttheplovers – at Queens, NY

Wood duck mama hooked @prospect_park. A delicate rescue b/c mama will fly off if spooked. Her babies - incredibly fragile, most won't survive w/out her. #FishingGearKills must end now. Too many lives at stake. @CMShekarK @NYSDEC @NYCParksDept

Yet another Black-and-white Warbler killed today by Circa Central Park with no repercussions for those that knowingly allow this to continue 🤬
@DOJEnvironment @NYSDEC @USFWSBirds 100s of birds from >42 allegedly federally protected migratory species have been killed here 😫

“Bird populations are in decline. It’s estimated that over the last 50 years we’ve lost 3 billion birds. Turning out the lights, it’s an easy step NY’ers can take.” #LightsOutNYC

There was high migration movement last night, bringing many birds into the city. Our volunteers were out early this morning to find birds that had collided with windows. These birds were found by just one volunteer. This is only a fraction of birds that likely collided today.

Good morning to this hooded warbler, rescued this AM by @stuffedowl, along with many other migrants who collided with windows after flying overnight to arrive here. Please join us at City Hall today at 12:30 to support a lights-out bill that would save so many birds' lives!

Has anyone ever seen this molt on a yellow-bellied sapsucker? Not a speck of red anywhere in early May. This extra-yellow beauty collided with a window and has been recovering with us for a few days, but we hope to send her(?) forth soon.

Good example of how easy it is to overlook window collision victims - can you find the poor Black-capped Chickadee killed by Circa Central Park?
@DOJEnvironment @NYSDEC @USFWSBirds please look into this - 100s of federally protected birds from at least 42 species impacted here – at Manhattan, NY
