Are You Ready for Fall Bird Migration?

Fall migration is heating up. Shorebirds are already on the move, heading south from their summer breeding grounds in the arctic. Songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and more will soon follow, with migration peaking in September-October. More birds are on the move in the fall, as young birds are making their first trip south. Most of the birds headed south in August are adult birds who have made the journey south before. Identifying birds, particularly shorebirds and songbirds, can be easier in August or early September as most adults are still in full breeding plumage. However, as the weeks go on and more juveniles pass through New York State, it becomes harder to identify by sight and sound.

Big Apple coffee fiends are spending loads of bread on brew — but the actual cost of a cuppa is just the tip of the iceberg. NYC go-getters fueled by beans, cream and sugar are being “guilt-tripped” into tipping an average of $357 to baristas each year, warns a new report on the ever-controversial rise of tipping culture. More startling, java junkies across the entire Empire State annually spend over $237 million, combined, in gratuities to coffee shop employees, per the findings.

Fox that may be infected with rabies is roaming a NYC borough, officials warn

A fox that may be infected with rabies is on the loose in a Staten Island nature preserve — and environmental authorities are urging visitors to beware. A safety advisory is in effect at the Mount Loretto Unique Area, a 241-acre nature preserve on the south shore of Staten Island, after a report that a visitor was bitten by a fox on Friday, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Dems push Hochul to block staggering 72% tax rate slapped on NYC’s first full casino

Queens Democrats are pushing Gov. Kathy Hochul to block a plan that would force the Big Apple’s first full casino to pay a staggering 72% in taxes on its slot revenues. Local lawmakers sent a sharply worded letter on Aug. 25 in defense of Resorts World New York City to Brian O’Dwyer, the chairman of the New York State Gaming Commission handpicked by the Democratic governor. “A 72% tax rate is excessively high,” state Sen. Joe Addabbo, chairman of the Committee on Racing, Gaming and Wagering, told The Post. “The governor’s office has to step in and resolve this issue. The Gaming Commission falls under the auspices of the governor.” Local lawmakers sent a sharply worded letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul in defense of Resorts World New York City.

NY Dirt: The Mamdani admin’s tale of two policy rollouts

Mamdani took a victory lap Monday, signing a widely popular policy into law. The mayor held not one, but two events to announce his signing of a City Council bill into law that allows year-round outdoor dining. He wanted to make sure everyone knew he supported an uncontroversial move to reinstate off-season sidewalk tables, lauded by restaurateurs and diners alike, so he set up a faux cafe behind City Hall while his administration’s lawyers geared up to defend his second home surcharge rollout in a Staten Island courthouse.

NYC-funded puppet show turns into Israel bashing hatefest: ‘Came out of nowhere’

A Jewish mother who took her 4-year-old son to what she thought would be a family-friendly puppet show in Lower Manhattan earlier this month was horrified when the performance morphed into an Israel-bashing disgrace, she told The Post. “The Cardboard Pizza Puppet Circus,” a show created and performed by puppet troupe the Boxcutter Collective that the ensemble describes as “a celebration of” New York City, was featured at this year’s International Puppet Fringe Festival, a multi-day celebration sponsored in part by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York State Council on the Arts.

But 15 minutes into the Aug. 13 performance, the show shifted from covering New York-centric topics into controversial political positions against the Jewish state, said the Brooklyn mom, 43, who declined to be named.
