Fallen Bird Nest

Spring in the East Village is a time for bird nests to fall.

Here is one example, seen on East 4th Street this past Tuesday:

Fallen bird nest.

I suspect the eggs were devoured by an egg-sucking dog.

Amazing Dog

Everywhere you go in the East Village these days, signs of Spring can be found.

Here are some daffodil buds, budding up in a tree bed on East 4th Street:

Budding up.

Wait a minute — what is that?!

Balancing dog poop.

It's dog poop, balancing on the tree guard!

What an amazing dog.

First Crusties of Spring — 2017

After all this talk of ice and snow, you might not expect the subject to turn so quickly to Spring!

And yet, just this past Thursday evening, there they were, the first crusties of Spring, outside one of their favorite haunts, the beloved Orpheum Theater on Second Avenue:

Haunting the Orpheum Theater.

Last year, the first crusties were spotted on March 2nd.

Soon, like the tulips and robins, they'll be everywhere!

Ahead of the Curve

Once again, the East Village is ahead of the curve!

I saw these flower buds popping up among the wood chips around a tree back in December:

Flower buds, back in December.

When the buds start popping, you know Spring can't be far behind… in the East Village Today!

The First Robin of Spring

I was walking across East 4th Street the other day, when I saw this:

The First Snowfall of Spring

East Villagers were certainly surprised today, the first day of Spring, to find snow falling:

Snow on East 1st Street.

A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a Spring wonderland!

East Villagers love snow!
