au revoir, new york

we went into the city yesterday for our last hurrah. we still have another month in CT, but things will be too hectic to allow for a day in manhattan. so we grabbed our last chance while we could. it was a lovely day. we ate pasteries from bouchon, hung out in central park, and went to soho for ethopian food.

in the park, we went to the pond with the remote controlled boats. a world famous red tailed hawk (Pale Male) nests nearby atop a luxury apartment building. the nest is just across the street from Woody Allen. I have a book about him (the hawk). it's pretty amazing to see him thriving in the big city. we got some good looks at Pale Male, while he circled overhead. we had seen him one other time on our very first trip into the city, though that was before we we knew about his lore.

Hugsband's favorite part of the park is the turtle pond. these three pictures were taken there:

Wow. This bird has a book and a website? Some folks have too much time on their hands. Nice site, though.
 
he has a film too, although I wouldn't recommend it.
