Not seeing Bobby and Rosie for a full week was tougher on me than I thought it’d be. When I first saw the hawks today I realized how much I had missed them.
They were both spotted at the eastern side of the park (both on regular, long-time hawk perches).
Rosie:
Bobby:
Rosie flew straight to the nest:
Bobby flew to the Judson Memorial Church cross:
Rosie flew from the nest and to a roof of the building Bobby was on a few minutes earlier.
Her crop was very full, indicating she had recently eaten a large meal.
Rosie:
One wing looking super thin:
Bobby still on the cross:
Rosie on her corner of the building:
Big, bright moon with a small cluster of balloons on the right:
Rosie flew to a building neighboring Bobby’s perch:
I missed seeing her leave her perch (I was focused on Bobby at the moment) but a friend told me that as Rosie flew away, she chased a peregrine falcon away from the park.
Bobby:
Bobby flew to the western side of the park and sat for several minutes:
Handsome Bobby:
A brief preen:
Bobby flew by so quickly, I hardly had a chance to lock in on him as he passed:
He perched in one of his favorite roosting spots for the night:
