These lucky kids got to stand on a Police car.

I have no clue who this is!

This one left me guessing too.

BARRED OWL in Central Park Today

My artist friend….LEE….took this photo of the

They sleep high up in the Eastern pine trees…..they feast of rats….and when they vocalize it sounds like……….”WHO COOKS FOR YOU”.

Listen to the MOCKINGBIRD

This sweet little baby mockingbird landed my terrace this morning……..

Stayed around long enough to eat a dozen PORCELAIN BERRIES.

They are very poisonous….but it doesn’t seem to affect the mocking bird.
