Welcome to 2013!

The year is starting off right with more hawk-on-squirrel action in Tompkins Square Park...

Tompkins Square Park
The squirrel won't back down, even with an acorn in its mouth.

Here is some video of the encounter:



And, now, everyone please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance!

Oh, say can you see...!

  3. Oh, yes, there are a few! This is a great time of year to see them as the leaves are off the trees. They've been so active lately, I bet you'll see at least one if you venture up to the park in mid-afternoon. :)
