Flushing Meadow Park 6-14-10

With all the hawks having fledged, it gave me the opportunity to get around to other parts of the park I haven't visited in a while. Here are some pics from of other animals procreating throughout the park.

Tree Swallows were all over the fountain hunting insects

This is the first time I've seen more than one Groundhog in Flushing Meadow. I saw one adult and two younger ones, so they must be reproducing here.
