My better half and I spent an hour in Washington Square Park but were seeing no Hawk action. There was plenty to see in the park nevertheless.

We left the park and were walking uptown at around Broadway and 10th Street when I spotted Bobby tucked into a dive and flying low over 5th Avenue toward Washington Square Park. We about-faced and went back to the park to see what Bobby was up to.
He was on his regular One Fifth Avenue perch. As seen from Broadway:

It became much colder and gustier and we had watched Bobby for 25 minutes and it didn’t look like he was going to leave his perch anytime soon so we left for the day.
