New York (City) Hiking

For those of you that know the city of my birth, you know its pretty awesome. Great nightlife, amazing restaurants, super playgrounds and, well, that crashing sound you are hearing is Wall Street.

But what some of you don't know is that NYC is also a place of beauty. From Prospect Park where I live and go almost every day to some pretty weird areas that have some pretty neat stuff. Beauty in New York is relative. Its not the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve in Alaska (nor is it Wasilla, Alaska -- sorry, I know I am not yet 2 and can't vote yet...)

We went hiking recently in Queens to one of the great flyways of shorebird migration. Here I am with my dad. He is looking for birds. Saw an osprey and some common ducks and geese.



I, um, was very, um, excited. Can we go now?
