Eagles!

Well, one eagle.

We went up into the park this morning, and saw a young bald eagle sitting on a tree branch.

At this age, he's almost all black, with a white V on his chest and a bit of white near his shoulder. Still near the hacking box; the other three may have been inside, or off somewhere else.

A bald eagle. In my own local park. In Manhattan. This is extremely cool.

smoke

The smoke that webbob mentioned in his journal has reached New York City. There's a "special weather statement" about it--that isn't a warning, just a statement, I guess so the Fire Department doesn't get 8 million calls saying "I can't see a fire, but I smell smoke."

It's dim, and gray, and we definitely smell smoke. With any luck, it will rain, and clear everything out a bit.
