Stretching between Poughkeepsie on the east side of the river and Highland on the west side, the bridge is not only a great place to walk but it is also a historic site, which is why New York State officially manages the site as Walkway Over The Hudson State Historic Park. How historic is the bridge?

To the Editor: The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated that nearly a fifth of the world’s greenhouse gases is generated by livestock production, more than by transportation. Yet Al Gore does not even mention the need for Americans to reduce meat consumption as we attempt to rescue ourselves from the climate crisis.

There are some excellent web guides, like the New York City Audubon “ Birding in NYC” guide , but these are not books. And not so new, I’m looking forward to using them. .” (Some titles are still available; A Birder’s Guide to Southeastern Arizona, for example, was updated as recently as 2018.).

The New York Times presents us, this morning, with "Equine Alternative" regarding the recent discovery that horses decided to allow themselves be domesticated by humans for our mutual benefit, earlier than we had thought (3500 BC, and we preciously thought it was more like 2500 BC). Forgot to hit "publish now" on this.

Each one of these animals suffered extreme cruel and inhumane conditions in the transportation and slaughter process. In an incredible juxtaposition to the fanfare of Barbaro, more than 100,000 horses were slaughtered last year in the United States and shipped to Europe and Japan for human consumption.

The transport and subsequent slaughter of these animals is brutal. The facts are these: ¶Most horses that end up slaughtered are bought by buyers acting on behalf of slaughterhouses. Many of these horses have been stolen or were surrendered to buyers who promised to care for them but who sell them to slaughter instead.

Erika Zambello is a self-proclaimed ’new birder,’ still equally excited by Robins, Blue Jays, Mergansers, and Flamingos alike. To be 100% honest, I make sure to wear my camera whenever possible because I have the unfortunate habit of leaving my electronics on all modes of public transportation. The weekend had a promising start.

The scientific literature does not seek creativity or levity in titles — academic journals are not the New York Post. The “introduction” is a readable summary of translocating birds to establish new populations to reduce extinction risk, with extensive citations to literature.

I’m lucky that these once-common North American nightjars regularly pass over my house in upstate New York twice a year, both during their northbound spring migration and even more so in the fall on their way south. Here, boxed wines just can’t compete: there’s just not much ceremony or romance in a cardboard box.

And even though transportation is so easy and inexpensive, prepare to walk a lot. Imagine me there raring to see more exciting Asian avifauna while the rest of the group screeches to a halt to spend 45 minutes admiring birds I see all the time in New York. Plus, taxis are cheaper than you’d expect. Do your research.

TRANSPORTATION. Better get moving… we expect you in New York in a couple of months. In fact, we saw two species of monkey, our only sloths, lots of coatis, and my rarest ever mammal sighting—a Jaguarundi —right on site. All in all, the Radisson Summit delivered what we all wanted.
