I managed to arrive at Washington Square Park a few minutes before sunset today and see Rosie and Bobby for about a half hour before they went to bed.
They were seated on a building at the western side of the park:
Rosie flew over the park and to NYU’s Silver Center building a few seconds later:
Bobby followed her shortly afterward.
He is on the upper perch on the left, she below him at the flag pole railing on the right:
Rosie flew off her perch then flew to the other pole railing further north:
Bobby then flew to where she had perched earlier:

Rosie descended to the trees, came up without anything in her talons, then flew around the area before landing on one of the Bobst Library ledges near the nest:
She and Bobby then flew around some more.
In the shot below she is flying by NYU’s Kimmel Center while Bobby sits on the upper right-hand ledge:
Rosie then flew to the west side of the park, headed in the direction of their evening roost, the “Red Roost Inn”:
Bobby left his perch at Kimmel and flew to the park trees:
He flew from tree to tree, hunting. He made a couple of dives at rats on the ground but didn’t catch any before he too went to the Red Roost Inn for the night:
Rosie on the upper rung, Bobby below her:
