Manhattan. Dark-eyed Junco at feeders.
The Junco is one of the most common birds at feeders, throughout North America. 60% of the species' population breeds in the huge swath of boreal forests stretching from Newfoundland to Alaska, and as far north as the tree line in the Arctic Circle. But even this commonly found bird is in decline, most likely due to atmospheric pollution and the widespread use of pesticides.
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.
