Month: June 2011

Sorry, we tried, but we did not see Pip today. Several of us fanned out in a buddy system to traverse the few blocks by Pip’s newest building hangout and scanned rooftops and cornices for any sign of Pip. We returned to our meeting point with no results.

While I was there, we did see Bobby and Violet soaring and perching which indicated Pip’s vicinity but she never showed her darling face. I’m sure she’s fine. If she were injured or lost, her parents would have displayed signs of stress.

In the meantime, here are shots of Bobby and Violet I took today. It was great to catch them during sunset.

Still learning how to navigate around her new world, Pip had to think quick to figure out how to get off of an unstable scaffolding perch. As you’ll see, she made it off the scaffolding netting without a hitch. Good job, Pip! In the background you hear some fellow hawk watchers watch the drama unfold. 🙂

Pip was spotted on some scaffolding on a building by Washington Square Park this evening. She was seemingly relaxed enough to preen and stretch at this spot before moving on to a new perch. The sun was setting at the time and the light cast a wonderful glow upon her feathers.
