Pearl Harbor Remembrance at Intrepid

Saturday, December 7th marked the 72nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Intrepid, as always, presented a wonderful program to honor and recognize the four Pearl Harbor Survivors in attendance at the event.  It was held at the end of Intrepid's pier, under the wings of the Concorde on this blustery morning.  Here are some of the images from the Remembrance.  (Click on any photo to enlarge)

Two of the Pearl Harbor survivors are welcomed by Major General Margaret W. Boor, Commanding General, 99th Regional Support, U.S. Army.

The Remembrance was open to the public and was well attended.

As a sign of respect for those lost, the survivors and others gathered at the end of the pier to toss a wreath into the Hudson.

Following the Ceremony, two former Intrepid crew members had a surprise reunion .. An avenger pilot (seated) met up with one of the sailors, Ray Stone.  Both were on deck at the time of one of the Kamikaze attacks.

Winter Birds starting to arrive

It's early December, the air is getting colder, and the Winter Birds are starting to arrive.  Yesterday we had our first pairs of Chickadees and Tufted Titmice, as well as a female Downy Woodpecker.  These pictured below arrived within ten minutes of each other.  Earlier in the week we spotted White Throated Sparrows and Dark Eyed Juncos.  Shot with Nikon D7000 and 70-200MM Nikkor lens.
