These were on some bald-looking small twigs at the base of a Yew bush (Taxus sp.). And one was on the end of a dead-looking yew leaf.
This looks like Parthenolecanium pomericanum, the Yew Scale.

家貓 (Felis catus)觀察者
susanhewitt描述
The hotel now has two kitchen cats, Smokey and Bandit. They are brothers. This one is Bandit. They were abandoned in a taped-up cardboard box by the roadside not far from the hotel. Luckily someone decided to open the box and see what was inside it.
The two kittens were adopted as hotel kitchen cats/chef's cats.

This lefmainer is not visible at all on the underside of the leaf.

Not N. defodiens, N. nigrita, or N. vespilloides.
- Cordate pronotum
- Orange antennal club
- Long basal procoxa hair (img 23-24)
- Dense metasternum pubescence(?)
- img 25-26 no bald spots behind meoscoxa (excludes N. hybridus)
- Pubescent metepimeron (img 29-30)
- Straight hind tibia (last 2 images)
I believe this is N. guttula based on the mix of a hairy metasternum and metepimeron, long basal procoxa hairs, straight hind tibia, and the elytra pattern.

This observation features a photo of a mating pair of two different species in the same genus. They were on a Giant Milkweed Tree. This observation is now declared to be for the bug on the right.
Follow this (new) link for the observation of the bug on the left:

I had originally assumed that these bugs were both Oncopeltus fasciatus, and so I had labelled the first photo observation accordingly.
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/214673706
However, then it was pointed out to me by @fabienpiednoir and @callicladium that there are two species here. This is in fact an example of interspecies mating, so I just now duplicated that first observation in order to be able to create this one.

環嘴鷗 (Larus delawarensis)觀察者
susanhewitt描述
The gulls are facing out into the air above "Hells Gate", an open area of sometimes very turbulent saltwater.
It is situated where the water from the Long Island Sound mixes with the East River, which is a tidal inlet, and the Harlem River, which joins up to the west with the Hudson River.
The NYC area has some complex estuarine geography.

This shell is juvenile and also somewhat damaged as well as having been partly coated with Lithothamnion.

I was very happy to find this lovely big dead wasp on the grass between the building with our hotel unit in it and the next 3-unit building to the south of ours.
I think spider wasps are amazing, and a Tarantula Wasp is one of the best of them!

I assume these are two fuzzy galls on the top of one of the olive leaves.
When I turned the leaf over, nothing was visible on the underside.
I could not see any other galls with a quick look over the bush.

Beautiful fuzzy green-eyed bee. I did not see whether the abdomen had an orange tip or not, so My ID could be incorrect.
There are only a few obs of this species in NYC, so clearly it is uncommon.

I have more than one observation of this plant. At first I thought it was a purple petunia, but it seems to be a wild flower.
UPDATE: no wonder I thought it was a petunia -- it is a wild petunia!

This beautiful blue pea plant was growing on Mansa's farm, although it seemed to be a weed rather than a deliberate planting.
I don't know whether this is Clitoria ternatea, or another species in the same genus.

All these were sitting on shelves in the Dive Shop, Scuba Safaris, on Oualie Beach. Clearly they are local.
They were all picked up during a dive over the last ?10 years. I will ask the owner, Ellis Chaderton, roughly when and roughly where these were found.
They are still in the Dive center.

Dried out on the beach.
I put it up on the small rock because it was barely visible on the sand.

美國短吻鱷 (Alligator mississippiensis)觀察者
akkhalil描述
This wild alligator was roaming around a suburban neighborhood which backs up to a lake and to a nature park (Flatwoods Park). He was first found in a garage and later next door before he settled in a front lawn for the night. The weather was sunny and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This has been identified as the American alligator because of its location (geographically and habitat-wise), overlapped jaws, wide snout, and distinctive dark coloration.
