Today’s Washington Square Park visit bore no Hawk sightings but there were minor adventures to be had.
There was still a bit of yesterday’s pigeon on the dinner table lamp:

Bobby and Rosie’s pigeon dinners – October 17th, 2012
It had been twelve days since I’d last seen Bobby and Rosie so I was pretty happy to see them tonight. A few other people had seen one or both of them but I was always missing seeing them myself, sometimes missing them within two or three minutes.
Rosie was sitting on the purple NYU flag’s pole atop the Silver Center building (east side of the park) when I entered Washington Square Park. I didn’t have my camera out at the moment to take a snap because I was in a rush to get closer to Bobby who was sitting on a tree nearby. His tree was in the southwestern area of the park.
A friend who was already in the park alerted me to Bobby’s location and let me know he was with a pigeon he had caught perhaps in mid-air just a few minutes beforehand (Bobby caught the pigeon either from a branch or while in flight).

WSP Hawk report from last two days – October 16th, 2012
I could only visit Washington Square Park to look for Rosie or Bobby for about 45 minutes on Monday the 15th between rain showers. I saw no Hawks.
I was having no luck seeing either bird in the park this evening as well until a friend called to say he just saw a Hawk east of the park. He reported seeing the Hawk fly low over a building at the corner of Greene Street and Waverly Place (where the red A is located below). The park is to the left:
I rushed over to meet my friend and search for the Hawk. It was dark out so it was clearly roosting time. We searched for several minutes but did not find where the Hawk went.
