Day 19: Observatory Island
Oct 23 2019
For our second day on Staten Island (Isla de los Estados), we had the opportunity to hike across the island and then head to a wildlife hotspot, Observatory Island.
Island hike
In the morning, we cross from one side of the island to the other. On the way, we saw some amazing landscapes and a striated caracara taking off.
Observatory Island
Observatory Island is a small island off the coast of Staten Island. It is a hotspot for birds, penguins, and seals. The sheer number of animals that we saw was impressive. It was fun to see the variety of behaviors of the different animals.
