Birds on Broadway

These shots are of an art Exhibit Currently on Broadway from 64th Street to 157th Street and are by Artist Nicolas Holber, and is entitled Birdson Broadway the Audubon Sculpture project.
I noticed the first one after at 139th Street on a morning walk and I share the ones I saw from there down to 64th Street, well as I was looking up for info about it it seems I missed a few and may have to go back to catch sight of the rest of them
This public art exhibition is to raise awareness for bird species whose existence is threatened by climate change, while also bringing beauty to the urban landscape, and was funded through I Kickstarter project I believe along with Support from the New York Audubon Society..
This first one I share is on 177th Street and is a Common Goldeneye

As I side note when finding out what Birds each sculpture was, I read that Holiber is the youngest artist to have a solo exhibition presented by the Broadway Mall Association. I loved the style he went for with these pieces

This next one is an American Bittern and is at 79th Street

Now I need to get back to Broadway and visit, 105th Street, and 139th Street ( which I must have walked by and completely missed seeing and then head up to catch the pieces at 148th Street and 157th Street so I will have seen them all, that's going to be a long walk one morning :)
