What a magnificent beast he is.
ReplyDelete@Sarah. Hear hear! Derek Berg beautifully photographs all varieties of East Village beasts.
ReplyDeleteDerek, Great photos, handsome Christo!!
ReplyDeleteFrom beautiful birds to dogs, TSQ Park and the heros that feed the homeless to music, art, closings and openings, the folks that comment etc!
EV Grieve Thank you so much for your unending kindness to report.
You're the Best Blog in the World ❤️
Just wondering - Why are hawks admired on EV Grieve more than other birds? They kill birds.
ReplyDeleteAre you new to this planet?
DeleteWatching Christo and his mates build nests, raise and train their offspring year after year in TSP is an extraordinarily unique urban treat (see gogginphotography.com for ten years of marvelous photos and commentary) Rats are the preferred food followed by pigeons. Small birds are caught mainly only as offerings when mating.
DeleteYes Annie, what we really need is some good old nanny-state legislation outlawing and condemning a naturally evolved bird of prey for being a bird of prey. I'm sure the rats will vote in favor. Insert eye-roll.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to above, I didn't say to outlaw anything, don't get that response. I was just asking why hawks are so admired. Innocent question. We always feared when they showed up in my mom's backyard in Minnesota with all her beautiful birds that she feeds and provides water to.
ReplyDeleteMinnesota? I’m a lifelong Vikings fan from NYC. Go Vikings! 💜
DeleteThe family dynamic though...
ReplyDeleteGreat pics Derek, thanks!!
Anonymous 6.14 Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteLola, Thanks as always!
ReplyDeleteI love being in the dog park on a clear late morning when some juvenile hawks are learning to dive overhead! Such a happy sight
