U.S. Death litters the base of the sky-mirroring Time Warner Center. Dozens of badly damaged songbirds bash into its panes and disappear when they meet Charlie Alamo’s broom and dustbin. “I’ve seen a lot of dead birds here,” he told Newsweek last year. Collecting chirpless birds has become part of the 43-year-old maintenance worker’s routine at the Columbus Circle high-rise. “Some of the birds just have the head left,” he said while pointing toward the peregrine falcons nested above. Alamo’s seen them routinely mutilate songbirds as snacks while also controlling the block’s pigeon and squirrel populations. Summer mornings must prove deceptive for the warblers and woodcocks here, because that’s when Alamo says he collects most of the downed prey. “I love birds,” he said. “It’s heartbreaking to see that.” Nearby, a Time Warner Center security guard, who requested anonymity, claimed the glass … [Read more...] about Death From Above: Lawmaker Envisions Bird-Safe Buildings in New York City

Mets take losing in New York to a whole new embarrassing level
I think I finally understand why it feels like losing in New York is worse than losing most anywhere else. Sure, there are the usual culprits. You can start with the media if you like, since there are more of us than in almost any other city, and we tend to approach the world — especially the sports world — with a jaundiced eye. You can talk about fans who are exacting and demanding, which is sort of how fans are supposed to be. (I’ll never forget seeing an Oklahoma City basketball season ending in flames a few years ago, and yet the Thunder walked off the court to a standing ovation. That’s not being a good fan, that’s fan malpractice. That would never happen here. Ever. Ever. Ever. Thank goodness.) You can talk about the temptations of the city, I suppose, though nobody even pretends anymore that athletes engage in the kind of nocturnal training regimen Mickey Mantle or Joe Namath did.
