This morning I was enjoying a cup of coffee while sitting on a bench in Tompkins Square Park (further Southeast of Washington Square Park) when I spotted its resident hawk, Tommy, soaring above and making lazy circles in the sky. Yes, you can imagine I cursed that I did not have my camera on me but at least it was nice to see him and to have at least one hawk sighting of the day.The link below leads to nice photos of him:http://evgrieve.com/2011/07/red-tailed-hawk-back-in-tompkins-square.html
