In the bustling cityscape of New York, the Eastern Redbud tree (Cercis canadensis) bursts into a vibrant display of pink and purple flowers each spring. This small to medium-sized tree is a true herald of warmer days, with its heart-shaped leaves fluttering in the urban breeze. The Eastern Redbud doesn't just beautify the city; it provides a crucial early source of nectar for pollinators, setting the stage for the season's symphony of life. Sharing this concrete jungle is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), a tiny avian jewel that flits with incredible agility. With iridescent feathers that catch the sunlight, this hummingbird is drawn to the sweet nectar of the Eastern Redbud. The relationship between the two is a perfect example of urban ecology, where even amidst skyscrapers and subways, nature finds a way to thrive and enchant. As spring gives way to summer, the Eastern Redbud's flowers give way to seed pods, while the Ruby-throated Hummingbird continues its tireless work, pollinating flowers and contributing to the cycle of growth. This dance of flora and fauna is a testament to the resilience and beauty of nature in New York, a reminder that even in the most unexpected places, life blossoms. #EasternRedbud #RubyThroatedHummingbird #NYCNature #UrbanWildlife #SpringBlossoms #NatureInTheCity #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #FloraAndFauna #Pollinators #NectarLovers #UrbanEcology #NatureLovers #SpringInNewYork #TreeMagic #HummingbirdLove #BlossomWatch #CityGreen #NatureHeals #UrbanOasis

#ThenAndNow: A glimpse into the past and present of Fort Tryon Park’s Heather Garden. Looking south from Linden Terrace during the park’s construction in 1932, notice the temporary construction building now seamlessly integrated into the garden!🌳 Northern Boulevard, now Cabrini Blvd, stretches out, bordered by the cottage that’s still standing and the site of an old home, now occupied by Javits Playground. 🏡 As time passes, the landscape evolves, yet the enduring beauty of this park remains unchanged!

An original landscape, renewed. On this week’s installment of our weekly wildflower series, we’ll travel gentle footpaths under shady canopies bursting with birdsong. As songbird migration begins in earnest, so to do native wildflowers display their bright colors in Brooklyn’s majestic Prospect Park. We’ll probably have trouble deciding where to look as organisms vie for our (and each other’s attention) in one of the last old-growth forests of Brooklyn. Prospect Park continues to face many challenges, such as invasive species, littering, and overuse, even while organizations like the Prospect Park Alliance have taken significant strides to protect and restore native habitats. Join countless creatures as you decide to stop and rest here, even for the afternoon. This is an easy 3.5 mile hike over pathed paths. All ages and levels of nature knowledge are welcome. DM, click the link in our bio, or follow Remnant Earth Collective on Eventbrite for registration info. Remnant Earth programs are always free to the public. #remnantearth #blossomephemeral #wildflowers #warblers #nycnature

Together we did it! Thanks to all of those who participated in the City Nature Challenge... Van Cortlandt Park won the Green Space Race with the most observations and the most species recorded. The Bronx won the NYC Challenge with the most observations and the most species recorded. Just because the challenge is done doesn’t mean you should stop making observations. VCPA uses observations collected in our park in various ways throughout the year. Please keep using the iNaturalist app and letting us know what you see in the park. #vancortlandtpark #citynaturechallenge #inaturalist #citizenscience #nycnature #nycwildlife #thebronxdoesitbetter #lovingthebronx

Wandered through Central Park yesterday and was privileged to observe this Green Heron hunting. I always feel so bad for the hunted but… Nature. I was standing with a group of birdwatchers, armed with cameras. It’s always so interesting to stand with a pack of people that you don’t know who are very passionate and enthralled by the same thing you are. #birdwatching #centralpark #birdsofcentralpark #greenheron #nycnature

🧚 moments like this make my heart happy, standing in awe of such a simple treasures. Enjoying the sounds and smells & just disconnecting. Being present & just witnessing. After all we are the watcher. When your mind talks is it you or are you aware of the inner chatter? 🤔 💭 of all the lessons I’ve learned on my journey. That was one of the most transformative. I was not the thoughts but the awareness of them! 💥 🎤 when you change, the way you see things changes too. This can be a blessing but also sometimes feel like a bit of curse, but it’s not. Our world is disconnected - but you don’t have to be. Be apart of the change you want to see. 🦋 🐺 I love the spring for it brings the season re-blooming / a part of the process we all must face sometimes. And oh of course the nature adventures also maybe I’m biased because as close to the summer solstice as I am, I’m a spring bby 💫 . . . . #nycnature #minnewaskastatepark #upstatenyhiking #disconnecttoreconnect #soulfoodvianature #womenwhorunwiththewolves #womenwhorunwiththemoon #selfloveisthebestlove #springbaby #waterfallsarecool
Bronxites we need your help! We know the Bronx is the best borough and has the most parkland so we should be able to take the lead in the Battle of the Boroughs for @citynature_nyc Currently, we have the most observations but we are in 3rd place for species! Bronx is the blue line. Download the @inaturalistorg app and go make some observations! Try to find some less common species. We have until the end of Monday! #vancortlandtpark #battleoftheboroughs #nycnature #everydaybronx #lovingthebronx #nycwildlife #getoutdoors

Two Mallard ducklings chart their paths through the Lake @centralparknyc . Image description: Color photo of two Mallard ducklings swimming away from the camera — and their parents — side by side. Swimming in sea glass green water the duckling in the left of frame leaves a long trail of elliptical ripples behind it. The duckling is yellow and brown with fur or feathers that stand spiky and upright as if touched by static. The duckling to the right of frame is mostly brown with the same — though less pronounced — spiky, static appearance. Five or six solitary ripples surround it in a circle. #ducklings #duckling #spring #springtime #springbaby #naturephotography #naturephoto #naturephotographer #naturelovers #wildlifeonearth #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographer #nycnature #centralpark #nycwildlife #mallard #canonphoto #womenphotographers

A Solitary Sandpiper showed up at Sylvan Water — alone. Another fan of the current muddy banks. • • • #bird #birding #birdsofinstagram #brooklynbirding #brooklynwildlife #nycbirds #nycwildlife #nycnature #nature_perfection #wildlife_perfection #feather_perfection #your_best_birds #eye_spy_birds #urbanbirding #urbanwildlife #withmytamron #tamron150600mm #nikond500 #nikonnature #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #kings_birds #sandpiper #sandpipersofinstagram #solitarysandpiper #greenwoodcemetery
Today we honor the very Earth that allows our institution to serve as a place of tranquility and connectedness with the elements amidst the hustle and bustle of NYC. As the Earth goes through its seasonal ebbs and flows and the cyclical changes of the flora and wildlife on our grounds waltz through time, we are constantly reminded of the beauty of Earth's creations where Wave Hill is a canvas through which nature paints its masterpiece. Rooted in a deep appreciation for the Earth's bountiful gifts, Wave Hill serves as a testament to the profound connection between humanity and the natural world. And we continuously aim to be a sanctuary where urban dwellers can immerse themselves in the majesty of all that it has to offer without stepping too far away from the metropolis we call our home 💚. 📸 (2,3,4): @minh_ngoc
A Virginia rail (Rallus limicola) plays very hard to get as it darts in and out of view in Central Park. Virginia rails are found in wetlands across the U.S., with populations existing in parts of Central and South America. They are related to other familiar waterbirds like coots, with which they share some similarities. Rails are somewhat uncommonly seen in NYC, though perhaps their secretive nature just makes them hard to find. . . . #virginiarail #waterbirds #migratorybirds #springmigration #instabirds #birdphoto #wildlifephoto #birds_of_instagram #birdsofinstagram #birdnerd #nuts_about_birds #bird_brilliance #best_birds #raw_birds #blackbirdersweek #blackbirders #urbanbirding #citybirds #urbanwildlife #urbannature #nycwildlife #nycnature #nycbirding #centralpark #murphswildlife
