A cute photo but a deeply sad backstory. This is an orphaned bear cub that sits high in a tree, above the body of its mother that was hit and killed by a car 2 days prior. Animal rescue was en route when I took this. I hope the little one does better now. #catskills@NYSDEC
Check out this awesome story just published by @gothamwhale about whale NYC0146, whose fluke is prominently featured in my @wnphotoawards 2021 winning photo. The whale was first sighted in New York waters in June 2016. Hope to see it again this season! https://t.co/tslmbUWYwm
If we see NYC0146, we'll let you know! Meanwhile, get to know the whale in @MattNoome's award-winning photo and the other #HumpbackWhales in our new series of stories from the sea:

New York City wildlife never ceases to amaze me. A barred owl in the middle of midtown Manhattan in @bryantparknyc! Unfazed by hundreds of people enjoying the park. Loud traffic. Sirens. Surrounded by tall buildings. This owl was right at home #birdcpp
@gothamwhale Thank you! Is there more information about this particular whale you could perhaps share? Like sex, age, when first spotted etc? This is super interesting!
This is so cool! The whale from my winning image has been identified as whale NYC0146. I hope he/she is doing well and still frequenting our waters. Thanks @gothamwhale for identifying!
I am super excited that my photo of an NYC humpback whale has won gold in the 'Urban Wildlife' category of the 2021 World Nature Photography Awards! Check out the other winning images too, they're fantastic: https://t.co/i6Ai7aMcKm @wnphotoawards
