What this blog is all about

New York City is home to over 8 million humans... but also countless other organisms of which we know very little!!! Although there are thousands of naturalists in NYC there are very few published accounts of species in NYC (some on birds, butterflies, bees and dragonflies but very little on other groups of species). I hope to use this blog as a way to increase understanding and appreciation of the species that co-inhabit our great city.

Here are some of the topics on which I will be posting:

• Bees, butterflies and other insects in NYC
• Coyote sightings in NYC
• Long-eared owls in Pelham Bay Park and other owls in NYC
• Frog ponds in the city
• Celebrity wildlife

Have other ideas? Let me know!
