Red-tailed Hawk landing on nest, Bobst Library, NYU, New York City

Chill blasts as Bobby brings paper to the nest – March 22nd, 2017

Today was very cold and super gusty so I wondered if I’d see much of the Hawks but it turned out to be a good hour-long Hawking visit.

Bobby bringing paper to the nest:

He slipped out of sight then was back within a minute with a new piece of paper!

He brought it to the nest but trees obscured my photographing his landing.

He flew low above the buildings north of the park then disappeared on me. I waited a while longer for his return. It got too cold for me to hang around so I left but not before taking shots of the nest from below:
