North Cove Project 9th avenue, 207th street.NYC. Manhattan Wetlands and Wildlife Association. James A. Cataldi has honestly earned the name of Birdman of Inwood. James Cataldi has restored area's from plenty of garbage that included needles, glass, plastic, condoms, and other such harsh materials from Inwoods Cove. This indeed was just a start of taking care of birds and other wildlife. He has surpassed area's that were dangerous and off limits to go into. They were off limit because of the risk of people getting hurt.He sill believed in restoration of area's, where in turn he could be able to make these wildlife area's secured of garbage and harm for these birds to return to and have a decent life. The birds which spend their time over there are Canadian Geese, Kestrel's and Ducks.He is classified as the Bird Man and does this type of work as a voluntary basis meaning he doesn't make any money. He made a living through his hardship working on Wall Street,in which he says it isn't for him. Then he turned to be making a destination of his own which he would classify as paradise. There are different kinds of birds who would be able to rest in the area's he has created for them. He is hoping upon donations to help Wild Bird Fund which is a non profit group that treats wild birds in New York City. The fund is negotiating a lease for them to become a rehabilitation and educational center for kids,adults and regular community to come in and be educational about wildlife. In all of New York City in which there are millions upon millions of people, there are only 30 people that classify themselves as licensed bird wildlife rehabilitators that take care of wildlife. There are about 300 species of birds that live in New York City. Thanks to these people these birds will continue to survive.To help contribute to his efforts more information could be found at this website which is http://www.nycwetlands.org/Lead.php
