You have a lot of wild animals that made major comebacks and now have heavy presences on NYC parks.
Not just eagles and hawks. There are mallard ducks, Canada geese, the swans, and other various bird species.
A beaver lives in the Bronx river and another one was spotted in Long Island.
A coyote has had puppies in Pelham Bay Park.
Staten Island has wild turkeys too.
AND IF THEY KEEP BUILDING HOUSES, and displacing wild life, eventually they all would be in our backyards......it is sad what is happening in New Jersey, near the Revlon warehouse, so see the deer en masse scouting for food near State Highway 27...... and the Black Bears have been spotted in many backyards......

That's another argument for why people should live in cities rather than connect all the cities in the country with suburbs.

Certainly there should be greenbelts where no development occurs but suburbs aren't so bad. I'm 30 mins from Grand Central in an old suburb and my kids have seen ospreys ripping up a fish dinner at the top of the oak tree on the corner, red tailed hawks swopping after squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, turkeys, and woodchucks and deer on our lawn, possums munching the fruit on trees in my garden, woodpeckers and even the occasional lost painted turtle. The cat sometimes brings in moles. Coming from London, I was amazed that so much wildlife could be so close to Manhattan. I lived about the same distance away from Trafalgar sq. in London and we'd see urban foxes and stuff but not the diversity of still-wild wildlife that you can near NYC.
I just saw one of the eagles! It was flying over The Outerbridge as I was driving home from NJ. I wish I could've gotten a picture. Amazing! Much smaller than other bald eagles I have seen in the past though.
