72. Well, ty, but you don't have to. It *is* cool you find them as you walk your dog. A funny story about them...

So near the top, and at the top on the western side of Manhattan are 2 big parks.

The one near the top - Ft Tryon; it takes up about 1/3 of width of Manhattan which is skinnier up there. It goes down to the Hudson River with a highway, a railway, and a walking path way down near the river running through it. On It'smore northern hilly section is the famous "The Cloisters" - part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

So in NYC we have squirrels, pigeons, sparrows mice, rats.... they're soooo ubiquitous I don't really think of them as "wildife". 😀

Ohoh, we have mallard ducks, geese, egrets, herons, racoons around the top park. I've seen hawks hovering above Ft Tryon park.
Now, all those I think of as Wildlife! 👍 I've seen them all except for the herons, and racoons.

I read something a few years back mentioning in Ft Tryon Pk there are wild turkeys in the more dense, lower western sections. Like- Wow! I think they feel like the wildess of wildlife for our area!

I text my sis bc we partly grew up near Ft Tryon Pk and went there. Tell her there's
wild turkeys down there.
She texts me back: "OMG"

Don't know quite why, but I found her reaction hysterically funny! Not in any kind of stupid way.
I was very surprised myself!
