2021 has not begun auspiciously. However, we can take some comfort in the awe that birds bring to our lives. Coincidentally, one of our stories is about the majestic Bald Eagle, which is the national bird of the U.S. Charlie Bates spotted the eagle on a cross country trip. The first story in this episode is from Shawn King about the red-tailed hawk and other birds in the Tompkins Square Park - East River Park neighborhoods of NYC.
