Or is it a balloon? Whichever it is I’m sure some child was very sorry to lose it. If it’s a balloon might it have started out at a birthday party or some such event miles inland eventually being blown over to its present resting place. Was it even lost at Croton Landing? Or did it end up in the river, maybe miles away and then wash down (or maybe up since the Hudson is tidal) and then finally come ashore here?
