The first installment of @DCComics' digital "Represent!" series, "It's a Bird" is a story written by New York birder Christian Cooper and loosely inspired by his racist encounter in Central Park last year: bit.ly/2RXrjMI

This low-cost device for getting those hard-to-reach Spotted Lanternflies was devised by @romanewyork—wrap duct tape around a stick—who used it to kill eleven in four minutes today on an Ailanthus tree north of Delacorte Theater in @CentralParkNYC.

Today: observed 40+ Spotted Lanternflies in the Ailanthus altissima around CP’s reservoir. Just out of reach, I used a long stick & managed to get only one to fall & land close enough to be killed. Spring will be a disaster when their eggs hatch. #birdcpp

Looks like today is an especially bad day for window collisions in #NYC - already found 2 dead Canada Warblers along Central Park North. If you’re wondering why #bird populations are in decline, the answer is right at your feet. We need all buildings to be #birdsafebuildings – at Manhattan, NY
