New York City Audubon : ウィキペディア英語版 | New York City Audubon New York City Audubon is an American non-profit environmental organization incorporated in 1979. The group’s mission reads in part: “New York City Audubon is a grassroots community that works for the protection of wild birds and habitat in the five boroughs, improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers.” With nearly 10,000 members, it is one of the largest organizations in the Audubon movement. It is named in honor of John James Audubon, an ornithologist and naturalist who shot, painted, catalogued, and described the ''Birds of North America''. In recent years, New York City Audubon has exercised particular influence in two areas: the restoration of the red-tailed hawk Pale Male's nest and the fatal effects of light pollution and glass windows on migratory birds. ==Pale Male== New York City Audubon organized the protests that followed the removal of Pale Male’s nest in December, 2004 and played a major role in negotiating a solution with the co-op board of 927 Fifth Avenue. Although Pale Male and his mate, Lola, continued to nest at the site. No new chicks fledged in subsequent years. In 2008, NYC Audubon recruited experts from around the country to assess the problem, and removed pigeon spikes from the nest structure as a result of their recommendations.〔Gothamist: Improving Pale Male and Lola's Fifth Avenue Nest http://gothamist.com/2008/03/12/improving_pale.php〕 In 2011, Pale Male, with a new mate, successfully fledged two chicks,〔Pale Male Irregulars Blog July 17, 2011: http://palemaleirregulars.blogspot.com/2011_07_17_archive.html〕 suggesting that fertility issues were the likely cause of the nest failure from 2005-2010.
