We found more than 12k NYC apartments that have racked up repeated lead-paint violations over the last two decades -- meaning they've put kids in danger over and over again. New for Gothamist gothamist.com/news/the-same-…

Close followers of this page will know there's almost nothing I love more than capturing Northern Flickers in flight. I just can't get enough of those yellow-shafted feathers! Spotted this morning in Central Park. ❤️💛❤️#Flickers #centralpark #birdcpp

Astoria the Wild Turkey enjoys the beautiful green spaces of Roosevelt Island where she can feel safe again on the ground and obtain the food she needs. 🦃 ❤️

EIGHT kits! In early April, these adorable red fox kits were born at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont, and they have started exploring the outdoors. They spend their days wrestling with their siblings and learning skills for survival.

I’ve known there are Eastern Screech Owl eggs in a cavity in our yard thanks to our tree trimmer. There hasn’t been any activity except for an occasional flyout at dusk. Today I was cleaning the patio and found someone watching me. 👀 #Owls #Birds #BirdTwitter #TwitterBirds

A year ago last May, I spotted Flaco high in a tree in Central Park's North Woods. He peered down with the same curiosity he seemed to regard every creature he encountered. When I take my daily walk I think of him as I pass his favorite haunts. ❤️🦉❤️#MemorialDay #birdcpp

California is on the verge of expanding its rodenticide limits. We hope to share the same news about NY one day. These poisons do not belong in the environment, harming wildlife, pets and humans.

I am Flaco. Remember me.

I hope you had a happy Memorial Day Weekend, today’s rain notwithstanding! Rufous screech-owl with hint of American flag waving in background. (April in New Jersey) 🦉 🇺🇸 #birds #birding #nature #wildlife
