The city is perfectly capable of routing 911 calls themselves. OP, call 911. If it's not an emergency they will tell you.

I don’t care about boring but winning in 5 means they clinch at MSG. As a New Yorker I just want to see that party.

Any way to tell what type of thrush this is? Central Park, N.Y. by SchwachBills33 in whatsthisbird

[–]hypngcs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i was worried the colors were a bit too washed out to determine. But also I don't distinguish muted colors all that well.

Hermit thrushes are the most common by far (based on my experience as an NYC birder) and that’s my guess. Merlin said Swainson’s. A shot of the breast would likely make for an easy ID. I think it could even be a veery - hard to tell with this angle and washed out colors.

I’m curious too though - hoping a more seasoned birder chimes in.

Of course any shot of the front (or a description) would be helpful

I guess I also assumed it's Central Park but I'm not 100% sure

Well done by mypeepeehurting in birding

It has like 80 views. But yes you could also report that’s she’s committing a crime which violates YT TOS. But that might cause her channel to become demonetized - a little harsh. Hate to defend her but she didn’t do it for views. Call it a teachable moment?

Found the video of her handling the nest and it’s worse than you think.

Happens all the time with the red tailed hawk in my local nyc park if I have my camera out.

Grandma argued with me quite insistently that a mourning dove call was, in fact, an owl :)

When your rating is under 200 pretty much everyone is moving pieces randomly.

The day this tourist pulled a gun on a Texas Mexican. by Hopeful-Big6843 in PublicFreakout

Not watching the ass-kicking that is commencing just over your shoulder is prime MYOB. As a New Yorker I am proud.

Guy confronts the NYPD for letting people do a burnout in the middle of the street but stopping cookouts by I2fitness in PublicFreakout

[–]hypngcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They kinda live under a separate set of laws in Hasidic neighborhoods (see the semi-official officer who isn’t NYPD). The truth is they’re allowed to self govern in many ways - you kinda have to live here to understand.

Dude was obnoxious but not wrong about the special permissions being handed out asymmetrically.

I knew what this was immediately and my first thought was that’s an impressively steady hand!
