SquirrelCensus

Using NYC Open Data API for the Central Park Squirrel Census of 2018. I created a CLI that utilizes collaborating objects created from the API's JSON, Squirrel and Date. Each squirrel sighting instantiates a new Squirrel instance and the same goes for the Date class. A Squirrel instance has a Date and a Date object has many Squirrel instances.
