The Audubon Mural Project, a collaboration between the National Audubon Society and Gitler & ____ Gallery, continues to enhance Hamilton Heights — the late John James Audubon’s upper Manhattan neighborhood — with a range of public artworks featuring images of of climate-endangered birds. Since I’d last documented this project, dozens of new murals have surfaced. The image pictured above features a pinyon jay, painted by Vermont native Mary Lacy. Several more follow:
Brooklyn-based Frank Parga, Gyrfalcon
Bronx-native Andre Trenier, Black-Billed Magpie
Kristy McCarthy aka DGale and Pelumi Khadijat Adegawa, Glossy Ibis
London-based ATM, Townsend’s Warbler
Brooklyn-based George Boorujy, Yellow-Throated Warbler
Tel Aviv-based Klone, Brewer’s Blackbird
