These unique feet are mainly used for perching and digging nesting burrows.

Happy Fourth of July! 🎆
As with any busy day in Central Park, it is extra important to pick up after yourself, respect landscapes and wildlife, and be kind to our hardworking staff that care for this space. Have a safe and fun holiday!
