Rosie and Bobby Hawk were hanging out in different sections of Washington Square Park this morning until Rosie joined Bobby on a branch at the eastern side of the park. They sat together for several minutes:
Rosie on the left, Bobby on the right:
Bobby glanced briefly at the large crowd below:
Rosie turned and flew to a new tree:
Bobby turned and flew to the ground to catch prey:
He flew to a new tree with a tiny rodent:
Rosie:
Bobby:
Rosie flew from her tree to a park path lamp post:
Watching a Peregrine Falcon fly overhead:
Stretch:
Nice talons:
Rosie dove after prey below her:
Tiny flying bugs looking like a constellation:
Rosie did not catch what she had hunted and returned to the same lamp post:
She sought new prey:
Success:
Happy shake:
She flew from the trees to a perch by the open square.
Bobby was on Judson Memorial Church’s cross:
Rosie was on NYU’s Kimmel Center just east of Bobby’s perch:
She flew further east:
Flying past Bobst Library:
She was out of sight until she flew back toward Bobst Library. She seemed to come from around the corner, probably from Shimkin (where their second nest is located):
She flew right into the Bobst Library nest:
She flew from the nest to Bobby:
Rosie flew from the cross to the trees at the western side of the park:
She sat super high up in a tree and preened for a little while:
Bobby flew overhead and to a low building overlooking the western side of the park.
Rosie followed him:
She sat where she could see him. He had flown over the building she was sitting on:
She flew to him:
A small group of us looked from different angles but could not find where they wound up.
I left the park after a while and checked out the fire escape where Rosie and Bobby roosted last night:
The only evidence they were ever there the night before:
