MikeF<p>I stopped off at Bryant Park in NYC yesterday, hoping to see the American Woodcock reported there. I found the park densely crowded and noisy, and did encounter not one, but two Woodcocks, along with a few other birds. This Woodcock seemed uncomfortable and stressed-out. It was initially foraging in a far corner of the park under some sparse bushes, and then hunkered down, bill tucked into plumage, in an open spot on bare soil about 15 feet from its audience, which was about as far as it could get from people in this setting. <br><a href="https://birds.town/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/NaturePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaturePhotography</span></a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/Wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birding</span></a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/birdphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birdphotography</span></a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/biodiversitycrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversitycrisis</span></a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a></p>

BellingenNSW<p>Confronting devastating destruction</p><p>"Since Europeans arrived in Australia, much of the country has become severely degraded." </p><p>"Around 40% of our forests and 99% of grasslands have been cut down and cleared, and much of what remains is under threat. Thousands of ecological communities, plants and animal species are threatened with extinction."<br> <br>"Australia remains a global logging and deforestation hotspot. We have the world’s worst record for mammal extinctions and lead the world in arresting climate and environment protesters. To top it off, a recent study estimated more than 9,000 native Australian animals, mostly invertebrates, have gone extinct since European arrival. That’s between one and three species every week."<br>&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://theconversation.com/in-2025-lets-make-it-game-on-not-game-over-for-our-precious-natural-world-245761" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/in-2025-le</span><span class="invisible">ts-make-it-game-on-not-game-over-for-our-precious-natural-world-245761</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingImpacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoggingImpacts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LandClearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandClearing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/deforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deforestation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mining</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/degradation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degradation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extractivism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SettlerSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SettlerSociety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/coal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BiodiversityCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BiodiversityCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extinction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EcologicalGrief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcologicalGrief</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/destruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>destruction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>change</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NYE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NYE</span></a></p>
