there's an egret who lives near the lake in central park .. i have not been able to get a photo because i havent been there with the camera, only the iphone .. and last night since nothing else was on my husband put on the soccer game and got involved … with windows open for summer evenings w/o humidity it was clear from the sounds of cheering other Westsiders were watching too
