I first spotted Sadie way in the distance from the park, atop the Cardozo Law School building she’s been seen on many times in the recent past:
She looked content so I returned to the Washington Square Park grounds to look for Bobby.
I found him in a northwestern tree:
Curious squirrel:
The squirrel moved to different branches to spy Bobby from:
Bobby stretched after an hour and fifteen minutes:
He flew further northwest, to the park’s Hangman’s Elm:
He started yelling after a couple of minutes then shot off his perch:

This was my first time hearing an adult Hawk cry like a baby.
I lost sight of them as they circled further toward the north.
