The same two hawks as yesterday (original Crown Building nesting hawk and ‘new?’ hawk) were soaring, perching, and fighting/courting early this afternoon. I found a sweet spot from which to photograph them relatively undisturbed by passersby. It was just me, the hawks, and the hundreds of other milling people several feet away.

I still haven’t seen either of the hawks go back to the nest but that doesn’t mean one or both haven’t.
