Month: January 2012

Bobby and Rosie had an easy day of it in the park on Saturday. Rosie ate some leftovers instead of having to hunt too hard and Bobby perched and soared a bit but did not hunt either.

They had those of us on the ground rushing around following them only because they cover so much territory during their few seconds of flight. A rather fun time was had by all.

I didn’t see either of the hawks until 2:40:

JumpFlapper was kind enough to share the exciting news that Rosie perched at the roost for about a minute yesterday evening. She and another hawk-watcher were there to witness the event.Rosie entered and left her perch rather quickly. She stayed only a minute at the most. Bobby too was at the roost but on a different rung. He stayed for the evening.It’s not known where she settled in for the night. We don’t know if it was her first time at the roost but at least we now have confirmation from the ground that she knows where it is and that she probably knows that that’s where Bobby spends many of his evenings. It will be a great night when we see them roosting together for a full evening.
