Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-08-26
I was busy this morning and forgot to write daily Pook-Emu Bee links. But since tomorrow is newsletter day and there are no Pook-Emu Bee links on newsletter day, I figured I would publish a late-night edition of the Pook-Emu Bee. 1. Can subway rats give New Yorkers hantavirus? Only if you do something extremely disgusting (Natalie O'Neill for the New York Post. May 8, 2026.) I wouldn't put it past the TikTok "creators." 2. Iryna Zarutska Murder Suspect Deemed Incompetent, But Case Will […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-08-26/

https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/woodpecker-in-brooklyn-04-22-2025/
I was walking through the Brooklyn neighborhood of Cobble Hill in the late afternoon on April 21, 2025. I heard a tap-tap-tap in a tree. I looked up and saw a woodpecker with a red crown and white breast with spots pecking away. This was notable because it is only the second time I recall having seen a woodpecker in Brooklyn, with the first being in Park Slope/Gowanus one or two years ago. I pulled out my camera to take a photograph of the woodpecker. Unfortunately, it flew away and across the street before I could even open my camera app, much less take a picture. Thus, the woodpecker joins the blue jay and black squirrel, albino sparrow, and squirrel with a French fry on my tell, don’t show list of New York City wildlife stories.

Many people dress up for Halloween. For example, I plan to be the editor-administrator of The New Leaf Journal for Halloween 2024. But less explored is the topic of Halloween decorations dressing up for Halloween. I have touched on this overlooked topic in past articles, such as when I covered inflatable Minions dressed as ghosts and vampires, green cars in witch’s hats, and pumpkins with […]

I was walking in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, on the evening of October 23, 2024. A little girl (probably about 9 years old) was lagging behind her father. She asked him to slow down. When he did not slow down, she dropped the following line:
You’re like in the Olympics for walking.
That is a good line for a kid. Imagine what she will be able to put together when she learns about Olympic racewalking.
