Tough day for critters in Tompkins Square Park


First, there was the squirrel who either wanted to play. Or just be a pain in the ass.


The squirrel had to make a quick getaway. The hawk was in no mood.


But a rat wasn't so fortunate.



And, for the rest of the afternoon, the critters kept a low-profile...

i've seen many squirrels mess with the hawks. a few of us watched 2 of them chase one out of a tree near ave B the other day.

I guess this shows that squirrels are not just rats with bushy tails: squirrels are much smarter, or at least better at eluding hawks!

Is that orange kitty still in the park?

Your pics and captions would make a wonderful children's book.
