Between Hunger and Fear, Manhattan
In winter, wild birds in winter are easier to hand tame. They appear to lose some of their aversion to humans and willingly accept handouts. Here, in northern Manhattan, a mildly adventurous Downy Woodpecker finally accepts some seed - just a few inches from its human benefactor. Some birds (especially chickadees) will not hesitate to land on a person's hand to take a sunflower seed.
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.
