I am dedicating this #NationalBirdDay to the 626 injured and dead migratory birds I found that crashed into downtown NYC windows during 2021 fall migration. I found 49 different species; survivors were few. (1/6) 
Most of them were from 4 bldgs: @4WTC @3NYWTC @OneWTC @BFPLny. All found in the early hours while volunteering as a bird collision monitor for @NYCAudubon. I am just one of dozens of volunteers and I found 600+ birds during a single season. Imagine the full toll. (2/6)
Of the 49 species, ranging from hummingbirds and warblers to flickers and waterbirds, there were 142 b+w warblers, the hardest hit. Lifers for me (gah, the irony of a dead lifer) included an orange-crowned warbler, a yellow-breasted chat, and a sora. (3/6)
We have quite the story to tell on #NationalBirdDay.

The Screaming Eagle insignia of the @101stAASLTDIV is perhaps the most recognized and famous shoulder sleeve insignia in the United States Army.
However the history and symbolism of the patch is often forgotten. The eagle on your shoulder is not just any American Bald Eagle, but instead, it commemorates the most famous animal mascot that ever served in the United States Army.
