A young hawk salutes the 4th

Yesterday I posted my uneasy hopes that the 4th of July fireworks not spook the young Riverside Park fledglings. Murray Head sent the above picture of one of the two Riverside kids -- both models of health and fearlessness--and wrote in response:

I hope they just consider the fireworks as they would thunder and lighting... and go to sleep shortly after they are over.

PS from Marie: I'm sure they did.

PPS Thought I'd share a really nice review of Central Park in the Dark, now that the paperback edition is out. Here's a link to the file:
