Class III toxicity ? What the heck happened to this pond? Well I guess it's for watching, photography but not swimming.
Ours Somtimes make this sound (perhaps what you describe?) that is high pitched and sounds like a squeaky door hinge. They do make all kinds of other sounds for sure, including hawk sounds. Very intelligent birds as mentioned.
Not sure but the sign says too toxic to swim. It's rather shallow and gets a lot of solar heating in the summer, so I suspect we are talking algae blooms.
Here in BC we have a lot of cabbage butterflies, very few monarchs but we are allowed to water flowers and shrubs for keeping bees and butterflies alive. Now the big issue is for salmons that need to spawn going back were they were born. We never had a drought lasting September and mid October- looking at the forecast- The streams have almost no water and the two days of rain we had tricked the salmons to start their return.
that's ok, I have confirmed the location - corner of Astor Place and Lafayette Street... I was off a bit.
although context clues of Joe's Pub for the building flags put me somewhere around Layfette and Astor Place/8th Ave....so I think you are probably pretty close!
Respect to you for using analog system camera😊
For my NYC photos a Nikon F100. Tomorrow I am taking my Fujica Half Frame with me apple picking. I also have a Fujica STX-1, a Holga, and a Sprocket Rocket. 🙂
We can water here, it just becomes counterproductive (and expensive) when you’re fighting heat and dry conditions for most of the summer. I tend to just let things go and let nature do its thing. If a plant can’t survive the season without babysitting, then so be it. I’ve kept the zinnias alive for the pollinators, but it sure seems like 1 gallon of rain water can do way more than 100 gallons of treated city water!Here in BC we have a lot of cabbage butterflies, very few monarchs but we are allowed to water flowers and shrubs for keeping bees and butterflies alive.

😔Salmon struggle to spawn amid record-setting drought, with hundreds dead in B.C. | CBC News
Record-setting drought conditions have left many of B.C’s streams and waterways too low for salmon to swim up to spawn. Heiltsuk First Nation leaders initially said hundreds of fish were found rotting in a creek in Bella Bella, B.C. Within days, 65,000 were found dead.www.cbc.ca
Oh yay! I love red-breasted nuthatches. We not get them when there’s an irruption, maybe once every three or four years during winter.
