Hawks at lunchtime – Saturday, July 2, 2011

It was a hot and slightly muggy day in Washington Square Park on Saturday the 2nd. There wasn’t much hawk activity until Bobby caught and delivered a pigeon meal to his family around lunch time. First to dine was Bobby for a bit, then Violet and Pip ate the rest.

I can’t remember who is flying between the buildings but wanted to share the photo anyway:

As I posted in an earlier post, Pip soon joined the table to have some food as well:
