One of the fledglings was crying constantly but my fellow Hawk-watchers and I couldn’t find it at first.
Bobby flew to the north-facing side of Shimkin (a building outside the southeastern corner of the park):
Sadie was sitting on NYU’s Education Building (across the street from Shimkin):
She was looking down at something (which turned out to be the crying fledgling on the building top below her):
Bobby then flew and landed on the west-facing side of Shimkin:
Bobby then returned and flew to the fledgling. We figured out later that he had dropped food off for the fledgling.
Sadie moved to Silver Center:
Bobby flew to side of Silver before moving to the roof:
He then flew down the street and to his tuck-away spot near Broadway:
It took a while but I finally followed the fledgling’s cry to its location. It was F2 (the second Hawk to have fledged):
It would cry every once in a while even though it was eating fresh food:
The friendly neighborhood House Finch couple visited the fledgling:
Sadie moved back to the Education Building and looked over the fledgling:
Cleaning up:
The fledgling ate for an hour and 15 minutes.
Sadie arrived to grab the remains of the food (you can see the fledgling crying out below her):
The fledgling was having none of it:
Pigeon feathers were kicked up during the commotion.
Sadie had to leave with nothing:
Sadie returned:
She got the remains of the meal this time.
She landed on a water tower just north of the fledgling:
F2 followed her while one of the Finches looked on:
Sadie flew past with the food a few seconds later:
Circling Finch:
The fledgling flew to mom and begged, even though it was full:
Picking her talons clean:
Sadie flew across the park and landed on the southwestern corner building she regularly goes to:
Although we looked, we never saw the other fledgling this morning but it was seen doing well yesterday (in fact it dove toward a squirrel that was on the grass at one point).
