Red-tailed Hawk landing on nest, Bobst Library, NYU, New York City

Three parks, no Hawks on August 14th, 2012

Yesterday was full of bad timing for me Hawking-wise. I saw no Hawks during my lunch hour walk around the southeastern corner of Central Park, nor any Hawks after work in Washington Square Park and Union Square Park (or in the sky between the parks).

What was fun was seeing two Hawks soaring above the southeastern part of the park yesterday from one of my building’s office windows the day before. It was just a shame I didn’t have the chance to assemble my camera and take some snaps before they headed further north. There is one primary Hawk that frequents that area of the park (and which I regularly photograph). It was nice to see it soaring peacefully in circles with a companion and watching them fly away together. I hadn’t seen it with a companion for some time.
