The Red-tailed Hawks of Washington Square Park, NYC… mostly
Violet the red-tailed hawk is seen flying above the trees at Washington Square Park on a search for a meal for her baby chick named Pip. This was the last time I saw Violet today. She soon disappeared behind the arch that stands at the 5th Avenue entrance to the Park.
To see the video in the best format, watch it at full screen.
Here is footage I took of Violet soaring above Bobst Library and Washington Square Park. Check back for new posts of video footage of violet, Bobby, and of Violet and Pip in the nest!
It’s been a while since I’ve stopped by the red-tailed hawk nest at Bobst Library at NYU. The last time I wrote about the hawks, Violet seemed to be in mortal danger due to her swollen foot. The crisis has passed so it seems and Violet, baby Pip, and dad Bobby are all doing well!
I took video and photo footage of all three birds today from my bench in Washington Square Park. Here are some photos of the birds to enjoy until my video footage of the birds are edited and uploaded. 😉 Click on the photos to enlarge them.
