A story about a small concrete dam being removed in Northern California to restore habitat to #eels and other fishes.
Do not know why this cannot be applied to the many dams on the #BronxRiver.https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2022/dec/22/removal-obsolete-concrete-dam-south-fork-eel-tribu/

An orange-legged furrow bee (Halictus rubicundus) wiping some pollen off its face in Carl Schurz Park. These are a type of sweat bee, and the same species can be either solitary or eusocial. Not sure which this one is, but it was covered in pollen and having a blast in some sunflowers.

I'm not sure what kind of fly this is. It has a green abdomen and was found near Harlem Meer in Central Park.

This is a Bicknell's Thrush. It is basically identical to the grey-cheeked thrush and has to be distinguished via it's song. This one gave regular concerts on Harlem Hill for over a week. I believe they migrate between Columbia and the Artic Circle.
