Freshkills on Staten Island, where @victorblue photographed this #osprey, has always been known for its bird life. But on land that was once the world’s largest landfill, bird life used to mean scavenging gulls. Today, #Freshkills — a site 2 and a half times larger than @centralparknyc and located on the borough’s western shore — is slowly becoming a park. Largely out of the public eye, a site that once received 29,000 tons of trash a day is undergoing a rapid and remarkable transformation, and in the process altering New York City’s ecological landscape. Mountains of garbage have become a vast grassland, a habitat that has been in decline across eastern North America. At Freshkills, researchers have found 3 bird species considered endangered in New York State, 9 classified as threatened and 7 more the state deems “of special concern.” And on the mammal side of things, coyotes, red foxes and hundreds of white-tailed deer have also made homes in the 2,200-acre habitat.
