Red-tailed Hawk landing on nest, Bobst Library, NYU, New York City

Bobby after the rain storm – September 29, 2011

It was pouring rain almost all afternoon today so I didn’t expect to get the chance to visit Washington Square Park to look for hawks before going to an event this evening.

But the rain stopped a few minutes before I left work so I high-tailed it to the park. Lucky thing I did too because as soon as I got out of the subway station, I saw Bobby seated atop Judson Church’s cross. Yes!I just got word that he was seen seated atop the cross throughout the entire rainstorm (around 4:00PM this afternoon)! Remarkable!

Missed a hawk by two hours – September 28, 2011

A hawk was reported seen at the north end of Washington Square Park at 4:10PM but I didn’t manage to see any hawks during my stroll around the park two hours later. Better luck Friday, the next time I’m able to go a-hawking.

Looks like the fiery fall foliage has peaked in the park:
