Mystery bird

Although I only had my point ‘n’ shoot camera with me at the time, I was lucky enough to get these shots of this bird at River Park on Tuesday afternoon.  I’m not sure of the species. It might be a sharp shinned hawk . . .

Reserved parking?

  A commenter to this blog recently complained HERE about a car that was constantly parked in the handicapped space in front of the municipal building.  Sure enough, this PT Cruiser was parked there every day I checked (Tuesday through Friday of this past week) during regular business hours. The vehicle displayed a handicapped notice in the front window, so the driver has every right to park there, and I guess that means every day, all day long.
The only other handicapped spaces I saw around the area were a few metered spaces in the parking lot behind the bus stop.
What I don’t understand is why it’s allowed to be parked there on Thursday (the day this photo was taken), when the sign says . . . 
NO PARKING THURSDAY
RESERVED FOR POLICE VEHICLES ONLY
This car does not appear to be a police vehicle, unless we now have a new unmarked police car.
