General Discussion

I don't know how much you know about NYC, in this case Manhattan.

The northernmost westside of Manhattan island is mostly covered in Parkland going down to th le Hudson River! (And very pretty!) It's only interrupted by a north/south highway.

We (lived in the area for about 30 yr) don't think that much about "wildlife" in the sense that....Oh, we got pigeons, squirrels, a whole bunch of different birds, which is cool (I've seen hovering hawks, and there's egrets in the northernmost park by the water). Oh, yeah, raccoons, too.
One time a deer came down from the 'burbs north of us; it made the papers! 😄

Anyway, maaaybe about 4 years ago I read that there are wild turkeys in the area below the ?highway.

I text my sis; "There're wild turkeys in Ft Tryon Park!" (the one south of the northernmost park).

My sis: OMG!

Me to myself at her reaction:

Thought it was hysterical!

And some years back they reintroduced bald eagles to that area, and some flew over when they were old enough to establish themselves in near by (across the river) into NJ. When they started that project there were something like only 2 bald eagles keft in the entire State of NY!
