To be totally frank, it’s not a puddle but it’s not much bigger either. It’s a watering hole, not in Africa, but in Central Park near the West Side entrance on 81st street. Park designers created this spot, surrounded by a tangle of shrubs and trees, to attract urban wildlife for a drink or a dip. They kindly put a stone bench nearby for those who enjoy birds and squirrels fighting and foraging, teaching their young, preening and nest building. And I happily sit quietly and record their goings-on, giving you a view from my puddle…
