A few reflections on my exercise walk with Cornel Lab's, Merlin Bird Id.
It seems urbanization is usually thought to have negative affects on wildlife. But my recent walks on the Iron Horse Trail made me realize that some types of urbanization may result in many, varied and rich habitats for avian species and, maybe too, for other less obvious species. Each 1/3 acre of land may offer drastically different habitat attributes.
This habitat richness likely does not compare to natural tropical habitats but 36 species in a narrow 1.5 mile transect of "urbanized land" seems notable to me.
