I caught up with Bobby and Sadie Hawk early this morning. Bobby was on the Judson Memorial Church cross but Sadie was not visible at first.
Bobby:
Bobby slipped away in the couple of seconds I took my eyes off him. Figures! Luckily he returned to the park within a couple of minutes, flying low over the square and to a regular tree:
Sadie appeared after 20 minutes and flew to her regular 3rd Street perch:
Soft nest material was blowing in the breeze. It might be a plastic bag:
A little slice of life (traffic coming down 5th Avenue):
I had to leave for the day so I took a parting shot of Sadie:
A fellow Hawk-watcher later reported seeing three Hawks (Bobby, Sadie, and what appeared to be a juvenile). Bobby chased the 3rd Hawk away and Sadie settled onto a northern perch.
