We’ve had lots of rain the last few days so my Hawking was curtailed a bit. Today was a beautiful sunny day and the Washington Square Park Hawks did a lot of sunning when I visited them.
Sadie was on One Fifth Ave when I arrived:
Bobby joined her 25 minutes later:
He left her side after a minute then flew north:
Stretch:
She left her perch a half hour after Bobby had flown away. She went north as well:
I went north to try to find the Hawks and was rewarded with a Bobby spotting as he flew above 5th Avenue and 11th Street.
He was flying not high above the luxury apartment buildings:
He soared about for about 5 minutes then tucked in and dove back to his One Fifth Avenue perch.
Since I was north of the park, he and the ‘back’ of the building were silhouetted against the sky:

He was off northward again:
I hung around for another 15 minutes before calling it a day.
A mighty Kestrel perched atop one of the Hawks’ NYU flag poles:
It flew east after 3 minutes:
