Woodpecker – Tompkins Square Park
Thursday, April 5th, 2012
I’d heard this woodpecker several times before, and I was staring up at the trees for about 10 minutes before it was kindly pointed out to me by Loy a park birdwatcher. Sorry the video is a bit wobbly, but I had to zoom in all the way and I had no tripod.
Hawk in Tompkins Square Park
Sunday, March 18th, 2012
I’ve scouted the skies and tree limbs over Tompkins Square Park for years hoping to find a hawk. Finally, I was sitting on a bench today with Laura Goggins and her friend Ed and Ed pointer this one out, right above us. Laura, who is a font of information about the park and the neighborhood in general said she thinks this particular hawk is named the Dominatrix because of its dominating nature.
