Some interesting facts about the bridge:

The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is a double-decker suspension bridge.
It connects the boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten Island, extending from Bay Ridge to Fort Wadsworth.
Construction on the bridge started in 1959, and it opened on November 21, 1964.
Every ship entering New York Harbor must be able to fit under this bridge.
It serves as the starting point for the New York City Marathon on the first Sunday of November.
Pedestrians and bicyclists are not allowed on the bridge . . . yet.

Bird of Prey

A bird of prey is on my neighbor's fire escape this morning; I'm guessing it's some type of falcon. One brave (or foolish) crow in the area tried to drive it off by occasionally swooping down towards it, but the falcon held its ground. All of the other birds are chattering like crazy.
