This guy is in the Children's Garden. I'm sure in the summer he's a nice froggy green, but it's November now . . .

NYC Frog Project on the Road

Bear Mountain State Park

In 1908, the State of New York decided to move Sing Sing prison to Bear Mountain, but conservationists--aided by the likes of the Harriman family, John D. Rockefeller, and J. P. Morgan--had different ideas, and in 1913 Bear Mountain State Park opened.

The Appalachian Trail runs through the park and gives its name to the Trailside Museums and Zoo, where these pictures were taken. The Trailside Zoo is on the site of Fort Clinton, where the Americans were routed by the British in 1777. In addition to bears, a porcupine, and a pair of coyotes, the zoo is home to quite a few injured birds, including a Pileated Woodpecker, a Great Horned Owl, and a Bald Eagle.

Carousel Frogs

Bear Mountain State Park

The Carousel at Bear Mountain was built in 2000. It features a raccoon, a Canada goose, a dog, a cat, a fox, a bear, a turkey, a deer--and two frogs.
