Rosie had just left the nest for a break when I arrived at the park this afternoon. She perched in a few trees and on a big piece of construction equipment in the fenced-in area of the park. It was pretty funny when she was on the equipment because she made a splash while going after prey (literally).She perched on the park arch a couple of times as well as on surrounding buildings.Bobby spent a lot of his time perched on flagpoles which used to be regular haunts of his.There was a constant yet light dappling of ash falling onto the ground from a large brush fire in New Jersey, several miles away. It was rather eerie.Toward the end of the evening he and Rosie flew to the nest ledge one after the other. Bobby stayed with Rosie for a minute before flying to a mystery roost.
You can see Bobby’s head peeking above the walls of the nest:
