We'll take a guided tour of New York's bird life, neighborhood by neighborhood.

Between the coyotes, albino squirrels and great white sharks spotted recently, it seems like every species wants to be in New York. What wildlife have you seen in your neighborhood?

A "fisher" has been spotted in the Bronx. It's an animal related to the weasel, and thought to no longer live in this area after over-hunting in the 1600s. Leslie Day, New York City naturalist, environment and life science educator at The Elisabeth Morrow School, adjunct faculty member at Bank Street College of Education and the author of Field Guide to the Natural World of New York City (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007) talks about wildlife in NYC, including what it means that the fisher is back.

Leslie Day, author, New York City naturalist, and environmental and life science educator, describes the plant and animal life within the five boroughs.

Simcha Felder, New York City Councilmember, and Leslie Day, a New York City naturalist, teacher and author of Field Guide to the Natural World of New York City debate the pros and cons of pigeons in New York.
