Blackburnian Warbler: "The breeding male, with vivid orange in face and throat, is unmistakable; females and immatures show at least a hint of this coloration, but more important is the unique triangular facial pattern of black (or gray), also seen in all plumages." (AllAboutBirds)
"White or light gray underneath, various shades of blue, black, and white above." (AllAboutBirds).
"Males are midnight blue above and white below with black on the throat, face, and sides. Females [this one] are plain grayish olive overall, although some individuals have blue tints on the wings and tail. Both sexes have a characteristic small white square on the wing, sometimes called a “pocket handkerchief”."(AllAboutBirds)

Scarlet Tanager ( Piranga olivacea) in Central Park, NY's The Ramble woodland area at yesterday's World Migratory Bird Day. It's worth mentioning that Scarlet and Summer Tanagers are not in the Tanager family (Thraupidae), but in the Cardinal group (Cardinalidae). #GlobalBigDay

"Hooded Warblers are small, well-proportioned birds with a straight, sharp bill. Compared to other warblers, they are fairly heavy-bodied and thick-necked. Adult males are olive-green above and bright yellow below with a black hood and throat, a yellow forehead, and yellow cheeks. Females and immatures are also olive-green above and yellow below, but they don't have a black hood, although some adult females show an outline of a hood. Note the large black eye and white outer tail feathers that it often flashes." (AllAboutBirds)

AFTER RAIDS, NYPD DENIED STUDENT PROTESTERS WATER AND FOOD IN JAIL

STUDENTS ARRESTED DURING the police crackdown on protests at universities in New York City last week were denied water and food for 16 hours, according to two faculty members at Columbia University’s Barnard College who collected reports from students who were inside.

Other students reported that they were beaten by New York City Police Department officers after their arrests and taken to the hospital for injuries before being returned to central booking. Photos of the injuries were provided to The Intercept.

The Destruction of Palestine Is the Destruction of the Earth

The last six months of genocide in Gaza have ushered in a new phase in a long history of colonization and extraction that reaches back to the nineteenth century. To truly understand the present crisis, Andreas Malm argues, requires a longue durée analysis of Palestine's subjugation to fossil empire.

A Birijita del Pinar/Olive-capped Warbler (Setophaga pityophila)that hopped up to my friend's feet, while collecting nest material. The Cuban name refers to their habitat, usually high up in pine woods. These insectivores are only found in two isolated spots on the east and west ends of Cuba, as well as Abaco and Grand Bahama islands. They nest from March-June in pine trees. Although they are fairly common where they occur, their restricted range puts them at risk.
