Thanks, Carlene! It is adorable the way squirrels rotate food. I have been doing my best to take better pictures so thank you for your kind words! That pigeon flock east of the park has intrigued me so I will keep tabs on those birds too. I have seen Bobby make dives at them in the past but I don’t recall if I’ve ever seen him snatch one.

Hi, Susan. Sorry for not responding earlier but I was in the park today and yes, I did receive a response from NYU. You can read it here in this update post: https://rogerpaw.com/2018/10/response-from-nyu/

I saw that squirrel count article headline but didn’t read it yet but will soon!

Beautiful photographs of the squirrels. When I was a little girl growing up in New Jersey I always fed the squirrels crackers, and loved the way they turned round crackers in an endless circle until the last bite. Are your photographs getting better and better all the time or have they been this great all along? Gorgeous shots of the birds and squirrels. Thanks so much for sharing your world with us!! Carlene

Most folks reading it would instantly say: “too many!” Same for pigeons, I suspect.
Any response from any of the people you contacted re: construction v. RTH nest? As for no work on Columbus Day – not so; our bldg. has scaffolding up, and workers are there, despite the icky weather. Time frame is important; want to get it done prior to winter-shut down.
As always – thank you!
