BROOKLYN SPACE

News, Views & Observations

He knows it well because he lives there. His new Five Point Plan for better housing in NYC is linked here.

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.
