We were seeing cottontails throughout the winter, because it was so mild and there was a lot of exposed grass.  This was in the lower end of Riverdale Park and around Bridgepoint.

Riverdale Park

When I was a young kid in 1972, visited Riverdale Zoo. Is that the same location?  I believe the zoo closed in 1975.

Yes, Riverdale Zoo is on the west side of Riverdale Park.  We like to meet the friendly goats whenever they are out.
