I asked one photographer if he knew what was going on. In a soft voice he explained that a Western Tanager, a bird seldom seen in New York, had been spotted on West 22nd Street. "Look closely at the yellow leaf above the thick branch." 6/8

The bird, he told me, hadn't been seen in New York in four years, and may have been carried in by recent west winds (we were, after all, in West Chelsea). I felt great relief that all these folks had gathered--not to witness another 2020 loss--but rather to see a rare bird. 7/8

How lucky I was that a street full of New Yorkers reminded me that if you keep looking up, you might see something rare and wonderful. 8/8
