Update: I had originally only posted a few photos from Sunday, my last visit to Washington Square Park.I recently added all the photos intended for this post (see below). It is now complete.
Bobby watching scattering pigeons below him:
After a little bit of preening, Bobby looked across some trees then flew instantly to his target:
He caught a rat:
A nearby squirrel taunted him as soon as he landed so Bobby reared back and charged it a couple of steps:
He and Violet flew to a nearby building top to eat his meal. One of the hawks:
They used the building top as a dining platform and sat together for a few minutes before separating:
Bobby:
Bobby and Violet then shared the same tree. Violet is on the higher branch. You can make out Bobby’s wing on the lower branch:
Violet:
She eventually took off and flew around the corner from the park for the day (not to be seen again during my visit):
Bobby on his own again:
He cocked his head curiously to the side to have a better listen to a young man’s rolling skateboard:
Bobby flew north past the arch and out of sight for the rest of the evening:
Sea gulls flying in V formation:
