I visited Southeastern Central Park later than usual but still saw some good Hawkery!
The last time I had used my camera was on Saturday when I was out late with Bobby and Rosie in Washington Square Park. I forgot to change that night’s ISO settings to appropriate ones for today’s brighter lighting (I know, I’m talking shop) so my first several photos from today are a bit off. But I don’t mind these new pics’ effects so it’s all good!
I first saw one of the two regular Grand Army Plaza Hawks accompanied by Starlings:
Heading straight to The Plaza as if on cue:
On one of its favorite perches (seen there repeatedly):
Its friend soared above The Plaza and around Grand Army Plaza:
Flying along 5th Avenue buildings:
Camera settings more back to normal:
The Plaza Hawk watched the other Hawk while it digested what was obviously a big meal:
Hawk flying in front of the Sherry-Netherland Hotel (mid-right):
Soaring in front of the General Motors Building at 5th and 59th Street:
Heading in to land on a Sherry-Netherland gargoyle:
It sat for only a couple of minutes before soaring again:
Tucked in to land at The Plaza:
Perching on a Plaza flag pole:
The other Hawk below it:
The flag pole Hawk was off again:
I had to head back to work. It’s been a pretty busy week for me so far so I am behind in working on and posting the rest of my Tasmania trip photos. I’ll try to get them all up by this weekend.
