The Plaza Hawk was out and about, scanning for pigeon prey.

Nest check-in:
There’s a thin layer of ice on most of the pond. Lots of people have tossed things on the ice, hoping to break it I suppose:
Great Blue Heron still hanging out by The Pond:
A pigeon walked on the ice:

Back to the ‘real world’:
After work I stopped by Washington Square Park on my way home to check in on Rosie and Bobby and see if either of them were roosting.
Neither roosted at the “Inn” but a friend saw both Hawks in the park together earlier in the day (at one point in the same tree).
Yet my visit at the start of tonight’s snow storm was Hawkless.
