Are new #invasives like #SpottedLanternFly worse in #nyc this year?
Yesterday in #VanCortlandtPark they were all over the place. Today in #InwoodHillPark there were even more. Like 1000’s.

I paused under the Henry Hudson Parkway to swat a few 100. Felt pointless. Some helpful guy said to me “you’re the third person I seen stopped to swat those things”. Geez.

This timid dinosaur (night heron) was trying to cross the path to the pond but didn't want to have to make small talk, so he kept pretending to do something behind this bench. #VanCortlandtPark #Bronx #Birds

The #JeromeParkReservoir is somehow involved in the plans. There are various stages.

I went outside and got some fresh air this morning. I also used the time and setting to create a message for my amazing Patreon subscribers. The video will launch later today and will be available to all patrons.

Today's #birds, minus the enormous great blue heron that took off right over our heads. A little downy woodpecker and some charismatic northern shovelers. #vancortlandtpark

@haq Thanks. By filtering to all of 2019 I got this hopefully not paywalled article about the #sheep #grazing in #London recently. This would work in many #NYC parks.#RiversidePark, #VanCortlandtPark. I think #CentralPark is too busy and I'm unfamiliar with #ProspectPark. It would be good to cut back on the use of fossil fuel and noise. People will complain about the poop, but then it they already have to mindful of goose poop and dog poop.

Finally, here's a screenshot of #VanCortlandtPark using #GoogleMaps. The daylighting in the park would have to follow the #OldPutnamTrail.

I took a short New Years Day hike in VanCortlandt Park with two wonderful #NYC #ParkRangers. The hike made me think of the #TibbettsBrookDaylightingProject . I wondered how it would affect #VanCortlandtPark. I couldn't picture it. So I sent out an email to various people who might also be interested in learning pictorially what was planned. I'm going to try to recreate that email here.
