Vacant lot by the Holland Tunnel
I was shopping a the 14th st garden center and I noticed I field behind which had a lot of goldenrod. The property was surrounded by Japanese Knotweed along the perimeter. However, the knotweed had not taken over a majority of the property yet was filled in the many different plants. The knotweed also kept out the tree-of-heaven which was encroaching on the edges, covered in spotted lantern fly.
The most interesting observation I made was a black-throated warbler which was eating mugwort seed off the plant on the sidewalk. Since it was an urban bird, I was able to get right up to it.

- Mugwort
