The longtime head of the National Rifle Association announced on Friday, Jan. 5, his resignation, just days before the start of a civil trial over allegations he treated himself to millions of dollars in private jet flights, yacht trips, African safaris and other extravagant perks at the powerful gun rights organization’s expense.
For many birdwatchers in New York, winter is an exciting time of year – when backyard bird feeders can go back up!
