Regardless of breed, ducks in general face plenty of dangers, including those posed by humans. Ducks in parks can become quite tame and accus- tomed to being hand-fed by visitors. This can be bad for their health. In 2016, 20 ducks in Canada died after eating bread and other human junk food. Full of bread, but unable to process carbohydrates, the ducks died of starvation. Don’t feed ducks bread. If the deaths of the Tarrytown ducks were caused by a natural predator, such as a coyote, raccoon or weasel, a mink is as good of a guess as any.

  • Jonny King — Biography
    Jonny King Biography Jonny King has been described by Downbeat as "one of the strongest piano voices" of his generation and a "bandleader who kicks ass." JazzTimes likewise wrote that he “represents the best of what jazz has to offer” as both a performer and composer. A native New Yorker, he grew up in the City's jazz clubs, participating first as a fan and then as a performer. Before he was a teenager, King had already performed onstage with Dizzy Gillespie and appeared on television at the piano alongside his early idol, Earl “Fatha” Hines. Before he was 20, he was already sitting in with Art Blakey and playing his first gigs in New York's many restaurants and clubs. King is primarily self-taught, having neither received any formal music education nor attended any jazz schools. He gratefully credits pianists Mulgrew Miller and Tony Aless as important influences, mentors and personal teachers. Beyond their private instruction, King learned music in the most old-school of ways -- by obsessively listening to records, attending jam sessions, and soaking up as much live and recorded music possible, from the most traditional to the most avant-garde. He continues to approach music the same way, both as a performer and composer. Beginning in the 1990s, King became a steady presence on the City's club scene, featuring his own bands at The Jazz Standard, Smalls, and legendary clubs like Sweet Basil's and Bradley's, his home-away-from-home, where he performed regularly both as leader and sideman. He toured as a member of Joshua Redman's Quartet and the Blue Note Records cooperative band OTB, and worked as the pianist in groups led by saxophonists Steve Wilson, Eddie Harris, Vincent Herring and many others.

No.: Credit Line: Kykuit, National Trust for Historic Preservation, Nelson A. Rockefeller bequest Photo credit: ph. gardenia.net © Artist : Sleepy Hollow, New York, Kykuit, John D. Rockefeller Estate www.hudsonvalley.org/historic-sites/kykuit Comment International Sculpture Center website, Kykuit gardens, August 18, 2015: Kykuit, completed in 1913 for John D. Rockefeller and home to four generations of the Rockefeller family, sits high above the eastern banks of the Hudson River over looking the Palisades. Within the gardens of Kykuit are two distinct collections of sculpture. The fountains, wellheads and classical figures - from ancient and Renaissance models or by American sculptors of the early 20th century - were assembled between 1906 and 1913 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and landscape architect William Welles Bosworth. The terraces descending to the west and the formal geometric spaces defined by stone walls and box hedges are punctuated by the pergolas and fountains integral to Italian garden design. In 1963, Governor Nelson Rockefeller elaborated upon this tradition and brought to Kykuit works by Lachaise, Arp, Lipchitz, Marini and Giacometti, beginning the collection of modern sculpture that graces the park today. He continued to add pieces during his 16-year residence at Kykuit, taking great care in the precise siting of each. International in scope, this collection numbers more than 70 sculptures, and reflects many of the major trends of modern sculpture during the first three- quarters of the 20th-Century, including works by Maillol, Calder, Moore, Picasso, Noguchi, Meadmore, and Nadleman, among others.

  • Here We Are on the 200Th Anniversary of His Classic Story, Celebrating His Legacy of Artistic Inspiration and Achievement at the Nexus of the Tale Itself
    WELCOME 1ST ANNUAL SLEEPY HOLLOW INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Could Washington Irving have predicted the enduring impact “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” would have on the world when it was published in 1819? Perhaps not. And yet here we are on the 200th anniversary of his classic story, celebrating his legacy of artistic inspiration and achievement at the nexus of the tale itself. The Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival is a celebration of cinematic and literary-themed wonders—a one-of-a-kind combination of film premieres, exclusive screenings, live events, scripts in competition as well as special guests, panels and much more, all taking place in the historic Hudson Valley during its magical, and wildly popular, Halloween season. All of us with SHIFF are thrilled to welcome you to be part of history with this first-ever large-scale genre film festival in Westchester County, NY, in one of the most famous locations in the entire world. We extend a special thanks to the fine folk, governments and associations of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, the wondrous Tarrytown Music Hall and Warner Library, who proudly keep the spirit of Irving alive each and every day. So, for the next four days, revel in the inception of a new legend here in the Hollow.
