That is so cool! I had never heard of that one!
Town has the means to be eccentric.
STOPOh wow that is pretty cool, I like it great share @manorvillemike
Yes, one of a kind....
What beautiful gardens, well cared and very green.
Each town, always looking for its mechanism of attraction and identification ... in this case, the Mechanical Eagle is a symbol of identification for the town of Stony Brook...Very original
Greetings @manorvillemike
It's a very well off town.
Very cool big Mike - hey a friend of a friend's two sons live in Long Island. Man, I am not making this up - you can't make this stuff up! - One lives in the woods there and one apparently lives in a tree (?) - apparently he's more resourceful. I didn't know Long Island offered so much foilage / cover!
These guys better have prophylactic protection from Ticks and mosquitoes.
brother you that post the stock of it, I like
Good, I'm glad.
Lovely building with history and unique mechanism.
And let's not talk about greenery.
How cool is that?!?! Love it! : )
And has been working for years.
