Sounds on the Island
Aside from the buzz and chirps of insects and birds that inhabit the island, it is not uncommon to hear commercial airliners passing overhead coming to and from LaGuardia Airport.
This is one of the few, if not only reminders that there is a bustling city just across the river from this once inhabited island. This is most likely the best view most New Yorkers get of the island until the island is hopefully opened to the public as a tourist attraction as well as a historical location.
