Even if Punxsutawney Phil had seen his shadow this year, I still trust the snowdrops to give me that all-too-necessary early spring pat on the back.

Nope, they won’t all be this easy to spot. But seeing as this is the last day of this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count, take what you can get! Seeing as we’re open on this particular President’s Day, we’ll be tallying up our feathered friends all afternoon. You’ll find “birder headquarters” in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden. And even if you don’t have binoculars, that’s no excuse to sit this one out–we’ve got a handful of loaner pairs available from the Visitor’s Center.

Not all of our aquatic plants retired in early fall. You’ll still find a few beauties floating in the Conservatory as part of our Tropical Paradise exhibition!

Will it snow today? Won’t it? Either way, ‘Phoenix’ makes the weather look good.

I figure everyone’s had enough of the winter landscape for one week, so I thought we’d step inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory for a teensy reminder that not all the world is an icebox right now.

Whether you’re laying out the credit card on a romantic evening reservation, or treating yourself to a singles night with Szechuan take out and bad sci-fi movies, the NYBG wishes you the best this Valentine’s Day! We love you all–in a platonic, happy, check-out-these-cute-birds kind of way.

Pat Gonzalez, out on one of her patented NYBG nature walks, came upon this curious chickadee the other day. We can only assume it was anxious to make a call.

You wouldn’t think bare metal could adapt, but visually this proves true with the art of Manolo Valdés: Monumental Sculpture. Each piece was designed and carefully sited to not only complement its surroundings, but to contrast with them–regardless of season. Now, in winter, each sculpture presents differently.
Stop in to the NYBG any time between now and May 26, and you’ll have the opportunity to see each work in its element, whether that’s winter, spring, or summer.
