WNYC is running a #wildnyc project, urging listeners to submit photos or audio of wild animals and plants discovered in the city. The basic idea is that folks send in images and our panel of experts help them identify the thing. Some submitters already know they’ve got, of course. I’ve been deputized to help out with bird identification for those that don’t. Check it out and send some pictures in via Twitter or Instagram.

Above is a one of mine, a picture of a female Norther Flicker (Colaptes auratus) looking into a nest hole a male has been hollering from for at least a week now in Green-Wood.Wild New York City. This is Inwood Hill.
