Maybe from your window IP, but NY is part of the great fly by for a lot of migrating birds-- and birders all over the country come to Centeral Park and are blown away by the variety of birds-

and those of use in the outer boros-- we get lots of birds-- I'm on the north shore (LI sound) but the Great Bay at Jamaica has thousands of wonderful species-- and did you read the article in the New Yorker about the problems being caused by tropical parrots-- who now have made their home in Brooklyn-- and are extreme bored-- and like bored teen agers-- commit crimes of petty vandalism? teens tend to do graffiti, parrots pull apart cable connects-- and interfere with telephone and cable service!

and as for Loons-- i have never seen one in NY!
