Brooklyn Birds
BIRD OF THE DAY:
Mourning Dove, seen in Brooklyn Bridge Park on a December day. Informally known as the Turtle Dove, the Mourning Dove is one of the most abundant of North America’s birds. Scientific name: Zenaida macroura. Called ‘mourning’ because of its sad, haunting cooing, its wings make a whistling sound. Even with the symbol of sorrow and mourning, it evokes the same association as its white dove cousin: a spiritual messenger of peace, love, and faith.

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.
