@wordpower2018 @KevinMKinsella5 Astoria is kid-friendly. #birdcpp

@KevinMKinsella5 @danbright_ Hope that kid wasn't chasing after her!

Astoria, the wild turkey of Battery Park, making some noise on Friday afternoon. #birdcpp #birdwatching

@StellaH07773809 I looked for you, figuring that would be the quickest way to find her but didn’t see you. But she was out in the open in the southeast part of the park, with only one person paying attention to her, taking pics with his phone. She seems to like attention.

@danbright_ Thanks for being there Dan . She flew safely in the evening .

Astoria the wild turkey shows no fear of humans, while strutting around Battery Park like she owns the place. #birdcpp #birdwatching #birds #NYC

@BirdCentralPark Thanks, David.

@danbright_ Great footage! Astoria is making her presence known.

🏢 The Atlantic Flyway just got safer! 🪟 Jersey City scored a major win with the unanimous passage of Bird-Safe Ordinance 26-014. The new ordinance applies to new buildings, requiring bird-friendly design from ground level up to 85 feet. More: bit.ly/4vemwIj

No one gives a fuck, but: ‘Climate change is kicking our butts.’ March smashes heat records for continental US apnews.com/article/march-…

One race to watch: the primary against Adriano Espaillat in upper Manhattan. Darializa Avila Chevalier, DSA-backed contender, is running in a district Mamdani won 60-40 over Cuomo. No endorsement from Mamdani (for now) but she seems viable.

Seems a bit harsh. “If they don't want to make a deal — their whole country is gone”

@NatureEnjoyer_ @willowbarcelona @BirdCentralPark That sounds right.

@danbright_ @willowbarcelona @BirdCentralPark I have never seen a female with a black eye ring like that..it’s possible it’s a juvenile male starting to transition to its green head plumage.

@willowbarcelona @BirdCentralPark It's a her.

@danbright_ @BirdCentralPark Oh wow! I love him!!!

About half the students are black, mostly West African immigrants, and the other half are Latino.

INBOX: The NYC Bar Association is renewing its call urging @RepMcClinton to ban live pigeon shoots in PA, citing the supply chain’s “direct impact on New York City communities.”

@MPanda73 It was pretty intense. There was no way this kestrel was going to let this large meal get away.

@danbright_ That can be pretty gruesome!

The wild fury of an American kestrel ripping apart what I'm pretty sure was a blue jay on a cornice of a townhouse on W. 11th Street, in the West Village. Another blue jay attacked the kestrel several times, to no avail, before the kestrel flew off with its prey. #birdcpp #birds

@MPanda73 The feathers were flying.

@danbright_ Wow, a blue jay? That's a bigger bird than a kestrel!
