Location: 3528 Broadway, New York, NY 10032
Painted:听10/6/16
About the Birds:听A habitat specialist, the Florida Scrub-Jay depends heavily on scrub听oak in the state where it is endemic鈥攁 vegetation that is vulnerable to warming. While 爆料公社鈥檚 climate models show the bird hanging on in summer, 96 percent of its range in winter may no longer support it. Mexican听Jays, on the other hand, can be found in the foothill oak forest of听the听New Mexico鈥揂rizona 鈥渟ky islands鈥 and the Big Bend area of Texas.听Although it may retain strongholds in Mexico, much of its U.S. range may be lost.
About the Artist:听Since 2011听Welin听has had听a great passion for graffiti art and street art听and has decorated everything from large walls to facades, trucks, homes, institutions, and offices.听He draws inspiration from things听happening in society and likes to mix听graffiti with听traditional art,听giving听it a different expression. He paired two species for this mural, chosen for 鈥渢heir beautiful color and their similarities.鈥
