Fall shorebird migration, at Jamaica Bay Wildlife refuge. Queens. (Episode 1)
In August and September thousands of arctic-breeding shorebirds from more than a dozen species migrate through New York on their way south. They stop to forage on mudflats, probing the wet ground for various worms and other invertebrates. Here, a flock takes flight over "East Pond", flushed by a marauding Peregrine Falcon.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
