I was only with the Washington Square Park Red-tailed Hawks for about 45 minutes today but got to see some nice sunning and flights.
Both Hawks were on their favorite perch atop One Fifth Avenue when I arrived (Bobby on the left, Sadie on the right):
A Raven flew over the park, calling out intermittently:
Sadie watched it keenly:
Both Hawks continued to sun and relax.
This Sparrow was in the tree across from me, trying to take a nap:
We have had new snow showers recently. Some plants heavy with snow:
Bobby rustled then hopped off his perch and flew northeast from the park:
He had a nice full crop so it was obvious he had eaten recently:
Someone was walking one of the most beautiful dogs I’ve ever seen in the park:
Sadie leapt off and followed Bobby 8 minutes later:
She disappeared northeast too.
I looked for the Hawks several blocks from the park but didn’t see where they went.
