People who study pigs say they are as intelligent as a 3-year-old child, smarter even than the dogs we share our homes with. Would anyone in this day and age dare to say that we cannot presume to know a dog’s mind, that a dog cannot tell us if it is happy or sad, frustrated, lonely or bored? That sounds like a win-win to us.

There are owls in New York City. They are the city’s latest, maybe only, celebrity media sensation, and photographs show crowds of New Yorkers craning their necks up as far as their masks allow, holding phones at arm’s length, using opera glasses and huge binoculars that remind me of the ones my dad used at the racetrack.

Back on Friday, 12 February, I was dismayed when I read the weekly New York City Rare Bird Alert email. Now, a Greater White-fronted Goose is not a big deal in many parts of the world and isn’t even that rare in New York State. Greater White-fronted Goose in flight after being flushed by an off-leash dog.

To the Editor: While businesses that rent dogs may be well intentioned, they’re unlikely to benefit the overall welfare of pets, and may actually do harm to the individual dogs they “rent” (“ For a Temporary Best-Friend Fix, Rent a Dog (Kibble Included) for a Day ,” news article, March 30).

Do you agree with the New York Times ' William C. Let's deconstruct the concept: Do you think that people who have spent their lives harming animals by eating them, just like I did and much of my family still does, deserve a second chance? Is fighting and killing dogs the same thing? Is it the dogs that are at issue?

if they see a mistreated dog, and shudder to see a wounded deer in the road. Back in the olden days of the family farm we never knew about the occurrence of food-related illness because we did not have a way of tracking it. The live feed can be monitored by any and all who are willing to watch. I think most would, enthusiastically.

It just so happens that after I read Bea's comment from yesterday about reaching kids with our message I saw a New York Times article from today called " Where Little Chefs Learn the Art of Slicing and Dicing ," by Ann Farmer. Are the kids cooking monkey, cat, dog, alligator or turtle? But I bet anything doesn't go.

Corey was lucky enough to meet Carlos while birding in Ecuador , where Carlos was dragooned into accompanying the horde of Queens birders for the day, an encounter that somehow didn’t turn him off of all things New York. If you have been out birding in southeast Florida there is a good chance that you have run into him in the field.

Before the life-changing moment, Scarlett lived in an old Brooklyn garage in New York, taking care of five kittens not older than four weeks. The kittens were placed in nice families in pairs not far from North Shore Animal League, which continued to take care of Scarlett and her children during all her life.

Not, as Linneaus thought, an ostrich, nor even, as later scientists concluded, a distant cousin of pigeons deserving of family rank, it was an honest-to-goodness pigeon, deeply embedded within the family Columbidae. Solomon Islanders say that the species was driven to extinction by cats and dogs introduced by Europeans.

The grackles might well be found here anyway as they like the wet habitat in Florida, but as an extra enticement, visitors feed the alligators with hot dogs and there is always a little something left over for a cheeky omnivore. Cats Are Still Public Enemy Number One, For Birds The New York Times and Tweety have it absolutely correct.

Okay, I accept this is somewhat unconventional, but I can’t get away from the fact that the Painted Wolf , or African Wild Dog , comes up every time I try and think about this. 2015 was challenging, at best, on a personal level but it was a fantastic year for birds in New York City. Good work, New York, good work.

That it is still one of the most anthologized poems is testament not to sudden inspiration but to dogged determination and careful, thoughtful writing. Hes only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasnt working as a union representative or spending time with his family. Wicked, right?
