Hoffman Island sits in Richmond County and is therefore part of the borough of Staten Island. It’s approximately 1.5 miles south of Fort Wadsworth and can be seen on a clear day from the outer lane of the north\/east path of the I-278 over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It’s off-limits to the public and is maintained by Gateway<\/a> – a division of the National Park Service – primarily as an avian habitat. <\/p>\n

But a more auspicious creature may be lurking on the island. Recently spotted in flip-flops and wearing several garments all containing stripes in some form or another is … Captain America!<\/p>\n

Sadly, even with the thus far mild Winter he hasn’t fared so well, and is somehow surviving without the use of both of his arms<\/em>, as seen in this photo sphere screenshot:<\/p>\n

I wish him the best, I really do.<\/p>\n
