this is what happens when people throw their garbage in the lake at Prospect Park. The rescuing was taking place while the video being shot today. Notice that the rescuer was hiding the net because the duck will run away if it sees the net. Video by Gus Keri.

Rover, the majestic Bald Eagle that gave so much joy to many when he visited NYC Central Park in January of 2022. He will be greatly missed. #birdcpp #Rover #BaldEagle #BirdsOfTwitter #Nature #Naturephotography

a few of the more than dozen stunned or dead birds at Ironside Newark this morning: this is *not* a skyscraper, it's a midrise with glass railings, floor-to-ceiling glass on the lowest floors, and some appealing plants.

@BirdCentralPark One of the only somewhat decent pics I got of the EBB today, on the path from Delacorte to Shakespeare Garden at the crabapple tree. The EBB did not stay long. It looked like the robins weren't letting them feast.

UPDATE: We were on site to record the drone show using thermal cameras and will process the data soon to see if birds were impacted. Luckily, based on radar analysis, Saturday was an unseasonably low migration with very few birds overhead, so the potential impact was fairly low.
This is a VERY BAD IDEA 😡 #lightpollution during peak #birdmigration, which BTW is happening right now, poses a hazard for the millions of birds traveling over NYC on their migrations. COULD WE MOVE THIS to after fall migration? @nycgov @NYCParks @NYCMayor @NYCMayorsOffice?

We've found many victims of window collisions in the last couple of nights in downtown Manhattan. Reflective glass and light in the buildings kill up to a billion birds every year. Please, sign this Bird-Safe Buildings Act @audubonsociety @NYCAudubon act.audubon.org/a/bird-safe-…

In honor of Flamingo and all the domestic birds thoughtlessly dumped in our parks during celebrations, this bill would end commercial bird releases in the city. Huge thanks to @CarlinaRivera, @Lynn4NYC and @ShaunAbreu for introducing this bill, and to @theanimalvoters!
Today, we’re proud & grateful to stand with NYC Council Members @CarlinaRivera, @Lynn4NYC, and @ShaunAbreu to introduce legislation that would ban the commercial releases of birds for events like gender reveal parties, weddings, and more in honor of Flamingo the Pink Pigeon. 🧵
