The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
Northjersey.com's John Ensslin just posted a podcast about Central Park's resident Mandarin Duck, who just might be the most-famous waterfowl in the world at this point.
He went to see the duck at the pond near 60th St. and Fifth Avenue, and interviewed me for the podcast at the Celery Farm two days ago.
You can listen here. I arrive several minutes in…. (Thanks to Fred Virrazzi for the photo above.)
This just might be the end of Mandarin Duck posts for while. (He has to compete with the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center.)
