    Four peregrine falcon chicks, born three weeks ago atop the George Washington Bridge in Manhattan, were fitted with their official tracking bands on Tuesday, before they are old enough to fly the coop. Their specially built nesting box is located just six feet below the bridge’s lower level and high above the Hudson River.  Their parents are among 20 pairs of peregrine falcons living in New York City.  Full story

    Veterinarian Philip Fox mounts a heart monitor on the side of Oliver, a golden retriever, at the Animal Medical Center in New York City, Dec. 10, 2012.

    John Moore, Getty Images — The non-profit Animal Medical Center, established in 1910, has 80 veterinarians in 17 specialty services that treat up to 40,000 animal visits annually. Clients bring in their pets from around the country, and world, to the teaching hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side for specialized high-tech treatment. The American Pet Products Association estimates that Americans spent more than $50 billion on their pets in 2012, $14 billion of that in veterinary care alone.

    Power outage seen on Monday night in Manhattan, New York.

    M. Alex Johnson / NBC News reports:  Superstorm Sandy surged inland late Monday, hitting the New Jersey shore and New York Harbor with incredible force, killing at least eight people, plunging almost 5 million others into darkness and crippling transportation with historic flooding across a huge swath of the East Coast.

    The mammoth storm began breaking up as it hit the New Jersey shore Monday evening with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph, later dropping to 75 mph, but Sandy continued to punch a destructive path across 11 states and the District of Columbia even after having been downgraded from hurricane status.

    Dominique Strauss-Kahn moves to Manhattan town house for detention

    The AP reports from NEW YORK — Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn moved Wednesday from a temporary space in a high-rise to a plush, four-bedroom brick town house in Manhattan where he will remain under house arrest as he awaits trial in his attempted rape case, officials said.

    Stan Honda / AFP - Getty Images

    The news media gathers across the street from the townhouse, center, in the Tribeca area of Manhattan where former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Khan is being held under house arrest in New York, May 25.

    The one-time French presidential contender was seen smiling as he got into a gray sport utility vehicle under tight security. He was moved about a mile away to the stately red brick town home in Tribeca, according a person familiar with his housing arrangements. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

    Craig Ruttle / AP

    A woman walks her dog past a building in Tribeca, New York that is believed to be the new residence of Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

    The building, which has five bathrooms, is located on a cobblestone street in one of Manhattan's most posh neighborhoods. It also is close to the courthouse where he will attend hearings. Continue reading.
