Wowza! It's been a while since I saw a Cooper's Hawk in Central Park--and one was waiting for me atop a North Meadow backstop! They always strike me as one of the fiercest-looking raptors! 😱😱😱 #Hawks #CentralPark #birdcpp

In 2011, 2,753 chairs were placed on the lawn to remember the 2,753 lives lost on a day that changed our world forever. As we mark the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the lives that were lost that day, and the bravery of all who answered the call. We will #neverforget 🇺🇸💚.
