The Plaza Male was on the north-facing side of The Plaza when I first popped in at Central Park’s Grand Army Plaza:
He hopped off and landed in a Central Park tree across the street:
He rested on that perch for twenty three minutes.
A Blue Jay hollered at him and dive-bombed him several times:
Flying past The Plaza:
Past the Sherry-Netherland Hotel:
He chased after a pigeon but I couldn’t see if he caught one because of my vantage point:
I searched for him but didn’t see him until a few minutes later when I next saw him back on The Plaza:
He was back near the same section of trees as before:
He flew past The Pond and out of the park trees again:
Back on The Plaza:
He then landed on the Sherry-Netherland:
***
Washington Square Park.
Bobby was soaring and circling down the street as I arrived:
He was circling above the northeastern corner of the park.
He then flew far southeast.
A Downy Woodpecker at the southern side of the park was making a fine number of holes:
Rosie flying to the nest, pigeon in tow:
I waited for close to an hour for Bobby to return to the park grounds but I didn’t get to see him again.
