I’ve been away at a conference for a week in Las Vegas.  I returned to the city last night and went down to Tompkins Square Park this afternoon. 

Christo, the male of the pair that resides in the park, fly into a tree next to me within minutes of my arrival at the park.  He then went hunting and caught a rodent.  He then ended up into a tree where he roosted for the night.  As I was leaving, I saw an Eastern Red Bat.

What a nice homecoming back to New York City.
