Watching you like a hawk

Pale Male on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bird and Moon

Pale Male perched over Fifth Avenue and 79th Street

I wasn't in Central park very long this afternoon; still weary from a trek to the Bronx the previous day, I made a brief trip through the Ramble, and then headed out via Cedar Hill. There I met Karen Fung, who told me that Pale Male was perched on an antenna atop the building at Fifth Avenue and 79th Street.


When I got him in sight, I realized that the rising moon was visible in the late afternoon sky, and I found an angle where bird and moon were well-framed. And of course I thought about Rosemary Mosco's excellent nature comics, Bird and Moon.
