Manhattan, April 2010 In the busiest and most developed borough of New York City, Manhattan, which is what most tourists think of when they think of New York City (if they are thinking at all), the signs of spring are sometimes subtle, but most are, like much of Manhattan, in your face.

Queens, New York, May 2010 At one time there was an airport in northern Queens called Flushing Airport. I was only recently introduced to the airport by a fellow Queens birder who will remain anonymous here mostly because the property is owned by New York City and one technically shouldn’t be there.

There are owls in New York City. The two stories about New York City are personal favorites, of course. And, in “The Black and White,” Sara Crosby tells the evocative tale of finding a deceased Black-and-white Warbler on Charles Street while walking her dog.
