Moving to New York City (1 Viewer)

[goldengrain]

We expect to move to Manhattan in the summer. We will be a few blocks from Central Park and have a rooftop garden. The garden will be 6 or 7 stories high.

I would think that song birds would not be flying so high, but thought I'd ask, anyway. Are there any birds that fly that high, other than the predators that I heard roost in some building neighboring the Park?

Thank you.

Hi goldengrain and a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Staff and Moderators.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I'll look forward to your contributions. Sorry I can't help with your question though.

I am not from NYC but frequent there since I have daughters living in the city. Honestly, I haven't found much in the city. Try taking an excursion to Jamaica Bay or Jones Beach....

Hi Goldengrain and welcome to New York!

If your garden is close to Central Park, you will at a minimum get lots of bees and butterflies.
Look up http://greatpollinatorproject.org/ for NYC beewatching, it is a good introduction to the NYC nature community.
