In hindsight, I should have accepted her Facebook friend request.
How was I supposed to know it was the Pizza Rat?
A moment in Tompkins Square Park
Squirrel: “Ugh, she’s on the flagpole again. Someone’s gonna be food.”
Dora: “Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.” 
Turf war update: stalemate for now
While the Peregrine sat on the 3rd st. church cross, we ventured into Tompkins Square Park to see if Christo or Dora were around. Lo and behold, we found Christo chilling out in a low tree branch near the Ave. A playground.
When we asked him why he wasn’t attacking the Peregrine, he just gave us this look:
He must have something up his…wing. We’ll have to wait and see but, as of now, it’s a silent stalemate.

The only Invader that hawks Christo and Dora will allow in the East Village.
Street artist Invader just installed this piece across the street from the nest on Ave. A. Remember to look up if you’re nearby!
Here’s more about Invader’s visit to NYC.

The Beastie Boys song “Girls” is pretty catchy and funny (albeit sexist), but one major part of the lyrics was off…today, we right that wrong:
GULLS, all I really want is GULLS
And in the morning it’s GULLS
Cause in the evening it’s GULLS
I like the way that they walk
And it’s chill to hear them talk
And they can always make me smile
From NYC to the Emerald Isle

There is a STAR in Starling.
We heard an odd sound in the park the other day…it sounded like fast morse code clicking. Turned out, it was none other than a gorgeous European Starling. Who knew they make over 10 different calls and can mimic other birds’ songs/calls…including the Red-tailed Hawk Keer?
It’s a two antenna Tuesday.
