Forest Park birds and Washington Square Park Hawk – April 7th, 2012
I spent three hours Saturday in Forest Park in Queens. It’s a huge 538 acre park. It was almost like being in the woods except for its man-made trails and people walking by every several minutes (most walking their dogs and a couple of people on horseback on the bridle path). It was a nice respite from the city and took only 35 minutes or so to get to by subway and walking.
It’s still a little early in the bird migration season so there weren’t too many unusual birds to see. But each day will bring new visitors. Most of the pictures taken below were lucky shots since the birds were very active and high up in the trees or deep in the bushes.

Rosie and Bobby on the hunt – April 5th, 2012
It was a very exciting day with the Washington Square Park Red-tailed Hawks Bobby and Rosie on the 5th. They both hunted and killed and ate rats as well as displayed their usual greatness soaring and perching in multiple locations.
