The Red-tailed Hawks of Washington Square Park, NYC… mostly
The fledgling has graduated to flying among the park trees now. A fellow Hawk-watcher followed him about as he moved from tree to tree and tree to building. He was really going lollipops! My friend heard him chirping as he sped around the park. They even saw the fledgling perch on the park arch!
He flew overhead making a bunch of noise when I got to the park. He then disappeared when flying above the trees to the other side.
A bird in the belfry:
I haven’t been to Washington Square Park for a couple of days but fellow Hawk-watchers have seen the fledgling perching at different buildings along the eastern side of the park.
He was seen eating as well so all seems to be ‘in hand’ for the Hawk family lately. I’ll be back in the park soon where I hope to spot the fledgling cavorting about.

A friend saw the Washington Square fledgling last night and this morning but I was not so lucky today. I knew generally where it was hanging out but it was tucked out of sight during my whole visit. However I did see Bobby and Sadie doing well.
