Month: July 2011

I spotted Pip and Bobby on the East and South side of Washington Square Park this morning after receiving a tip that the hawks were at the park by a fellow hawk-watcher. The first hawk I saw was Bobby as he flew above me as I stood on the corner of West Fourth Street and Mercer Street. He was headed in the direction of the park from the East.

It was a good day of hawk watching today. Bobby was gorgeous in hunting mode in Washington Square Park. I was lucky to spot him as he flew from one tree to another since I was alone at first and had I been looking in the other direction for just two seconds, I could have missed him entirely. Soon enough, a couple more hawk-watchers arrived and we made a fine, albeit small, band.

Five of us Pipsters were at Union Square Park last night beginning at 6:30pm. We scanned the park, the surrounding buildings, and the sky in all directions but with no hawk sightings. A couple of us walked down to Washington Square Park to see if they were in their old haunt but didn’t find them there or in the surrounding area either. We all, in our separate parks, looked until it got quite dark. At this point, the hawks could be on any block within this new hunting/flying radius. Take heart, we’ll try again tonight. 🙂
