City porg
A small black dog climbs an outdoor staircase. The head is invisible and the legs look like they are wearing MC Hammer pants.

From the hellscape of New York City, a morning walk.
A small black dog in a grassy trail between two immense native-flower meadow beds. There is a fallen log in the bottom left, to be used by passers-by as a bench. Far in the distance, beyond the mature oak trees in which Flaco used to sit, you can see a high-rise building on the Upper East Side of New York. It is, frankly, an idyllic scene.

A screenshot of a text exchange. First the last bit of a robo-text from “Beth” at the “Fix the city” PAC allegedly not affiliated with Cuomo, urging me to vote for Cuomo. Text reply: “Never. I hate Cuomo like poison.”

The kickstarter Flaco book & bag have arrived! Really nicely done—I’m delighted with everything.
An orange bag and an orange book lay on a wood table. Both bag and book have the same black drawing of Flaco, the New York City Eurasian Eagle-Owl, with the word “Flaco” on top. It is very beautifully laid out.

Santa is watching, in ALL the senses.
A to-from label from a chain drug store features a Santa Clause coyly moving his reader glasses down to give a wink.

Morning dinosaur.
A heron in a city pond, with a long snaky neck. There are reed grasses in the foreground and a building in the background. The sky is very clear and blue.

Here is the “mostly apples” cake, tonight’s recipe. Everything in her cookbook turns out basically as described, which I really appreciate.
A cake on a counter. A slice has been taken out. The cake is brown with visible chunks of apple. There are toasted walnuts on top.

On my morning walk, I saw a black-crowned night heron fishing.
A black-crowned night heron, which is a rather large bird, stands on a rock by a green pool.

Morning walk
A pollinator meadow on a hot morning. The sky is already hazy with heat. The meadow weeds in the foreground are very green and very tall. There are dots of yellow oxeye and goldenrod, and blue wild bergamot flowers.

A small black dog sits on a block of granitic shist, near the spring that was once known as “Sabrina’s Pool,” in Central Park.

Here is a nice note I got from my sister after I sent her one of your books for Christmas. Have been meaning to share it--hope it's not too creepy.
I just finished the book you gave me, Nettle and Bone, and loved it. That was so atmospheric and satisfying! It also had that fairytale storytelling mode I love so much: concise, full of lightly-explained fantastical elements and characters who are fleshed out just enough, and a nice feeling of virtue rewarded and justice. I should find more books by that author. Thank you!

Four years ago, on my morning walk in Central Park, I watched some people build what turned out to be a field hospital.

Here is a small piece of what I believe is Skunnemunk Conglomerate, found on a beach in Long Island.
A small rock, with a reddish matrix and irregular quartzite inclusions.

Flaco is ALSO in this tree.
A spruce tree on a hill against a gray sky. Halfway up, a large indistinct shape the size of a turkey is in fact Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl.

Since everyone is posting their beautiful Flaco photos today, I will provide some contrast.

I love the Seek app.
The Seek nature-identifier app has congratulated me on identifying a new species—a small shaggy black terrier-type dog has been positively identified as an Eastern Gorilla.

A small black terrier-type dog looks alert on top of an outcropping of schist amidst a green forest in the early morning.
