All the photos in this post I took over a two-hour period Friday. I post this in part in response to the question raised by a commenter recently, how many tugboats operate in the sixth boro, aka the waters around NYC.
They pass one at a time,
you see them in twos . . . . and that might be a third with the crane barge off the Battery in the distance,
a trio might be assisting a single ULCV,
foreshortening might collapse four into a single shot, and
if you look across the repair and docking yard, you might see five tugs plus one science boat.
And finally for now, move the huge box ship away, and six of more are revealed.
This is the sixth boro, folks, one of the busiest ports in the US.

Click here and then scroll to the last three pics; you’ll see a sixth boro version of the photo below, taken just east of Lyons.
Near the Montezuma, these passed twice, and they were certainly not the mute type.
Lots of herons hunt for fish from the locks, but they fly away as a boat appears. This one, however, may have thought himself fleet
footed enough to play ostrich.
The parrot that share an apartment with me stretches each morning before flying; ospreys . . . it appears . . . do the same, especially
if they transport meals like this.
Final shot for today . . . the four-point buck here just about to find footing and camouflage on the north bank.
