Brooklyn Birds
BIRD OF THE DAY:
Downy Woodpecker, a December sighting in Brooklyn Bridge Park. This species is the smallest of the ‘peckers’ in North America. Scientific name: Picoides pubescens. Woodpeckers are constructed to absorb 97 percent of the shock energy of ‘pecking’ in their bodies, so the brain is protected. In addition to foraging for insects on tree trunks, they also have the power to carve out holes in the wood for shelter and nesting. Pecking also can be used as a signal to proclaim their territory (they have been known to peck on manmade objects for the resonating effect) or for mating signals. Photo by Heather Wolf, author of BIRDING AT THE BRIDGE. Join the Eagle family of supporters and get daily updates and features (like bird of the day).

A Cedar Waxwing, seen in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Jan A Cedar Waxwing, seen in Brooklyn Bridge Park, January 2021. The Waxwings have a colorful scientific name: Bombycilla cedrorum. In no danger of extinction, they love fruit. Over-ripe berries that have fermented in the sun have intoxicated flocks of cedar waxwings, causing them to crash into windows.

Any plan for the equitable recovery of NYC should Any plan for the equitable recovery of NYC should focus on communities like East New York that have disproportionately borne the brunt of the pandemic that have exacerbated the historic consequences of disinvestment in the neighborhood. One place to start is Broadway Junction. Nowhere else in the City can one find used car lots, gravel storage and piles of garbage next to a transportation hub boasting five subway lines and a branch of the Long Island Railroad. Only Central Business Districts like Midtown and Lower Manhattan and outer borough hubs like Downtown Brooklyn and Jamaica, Queens boast rival transit infrastructure. And yet no action to date has been taken on the many planning efforts over the years to galvanize investment and opportunity in the area.
