Dogs? What fucking dogs?


Today's hawk in Tompkins Square Park. Not impressed by dogs in costumes.

Nature is insane. Who would think that a soulless killing machine like this beast would reside in one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world?

NYC is the financial heart of the global soulless killing machine.

I have had the pleasure of seeing the hawk this week. Is it wild or does someone tend it?

That's not a hawk. That's my chihuahua dressed as a hawk. And he didn't win one prize in the Halloween Dog Costume Contest. :(

Folks, there are even peregrine falcons living in the skyscrapers in midtown. Nature adapts, and will reclaim her own after we're gone.

True, Scuba Diva.

There are Peregrines and Kestrels and Merlins and Cooper's Hawks ALL OVER THE PLACE. I've seen them all within a two block radius of TSP alone.
