Rosie had caught a pigeon and two rats during my visit to Washington Square Park Friday. She made her way around the park and at times perched on five different lamp posts from which to scan for prey. Bobby was out and about in the trees as well but he was more hidden from view and, being the older, more mature hawk, stayed put and did not zig zag around the park as Rosie did this particular day.
