A close up of alto sax player Charles McPherson playing live. His facial expression is intense. "Bird" was a biographical movie about famed jazz musician Charlier Parker. The film was directed by Clint Eastwood, who is a big fan of jazz. The picture was taken at the Charlie Parker Festival, an annual event in late August in honor of the man known as "Bird" and "Yardbird" (a slang term for chicken: Parker was very fond of fried chicken). McPherson also played the Charlier Parker parts for the movie's soundtrack.

#OnThisDate and the next day in 1988, a big riot broke loose in #TompkinsSquarePark. Oppressed people do rise up, but this time it was the NYPD who started a riot, beating up hippies, Hare Krishna followers, homeless people, partygoers, and reporters.

It’s not a huge park, but by no means is it a tiny park by New York standards. A red squirrel and a dog park in Tompkins Square Park. You can also drop by and look for the mating RTH’s now that the trees are bare of leaves.

This is Christo and Amelia, the mating Red-tailed Hawks in Tompkins Square Park. The larger of the two is the female and she is named after Amelia Earhart.

The famous Krishna Tree in Tompkins Square Park, NYC. This American Elm is estimated to be about 100 years old and is currently showing its yellow autumn foliage.

Taking a break from work to enjoy some fresh fall air in my local Tompkins Square Park in the East Village, NYC. Not visible in the photos is the call of a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker. #autumn #TompkinsSquarePark
