Brooklyn Birds
BIRD OF THE DAY:
A Cedar Waxwing, seen recently at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Member of the Passerine order, which includes more than half of bird species: they have three toes forward, one backward. (Non-passerines have two toes forward, one backward.) The name “Waxwing” refers to wax-like wingtips. Scientific name: Bombycilia cedrorum. Flocking together, they feed on berry-laden trees and shrubs, often plucking berries while airborne. Will also eat beetles, ants, and caterpillars. One avid birder, an artist who specializes in bird paintings, told the Eagle: “Flocks of Cedar Waxwings are like a band of pirates. They will descend on a tree or bush like an air raid and consume every single berry… then they all go out drinking — water, that is.” Photo by Heather Wolf, author of BIRDING AT THE BRIDGE.

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.

The Citi Field vaccination hub will be reserved for taxi drivers, food service workers and vaccine-eligible residents of the borough of Queens. Read more on our website.

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.
