Sadie was on a regular Silver Center Hawk perch when I arrived at Washington Square Park today:
A House Finch flew about and perched near her as the Finches do often with the Hawks:
As my luck would have it, I missed catching Sadie jump off her perch 10 minutes later while I was checking my camera settings.
Zipping around a corner:
She flew quite high before disappearing north on me.
Hello little dinosaur:
Time for a flap walk!
It was about 10 minutes later when I noticed Sadie sitting close to the babe on the nest ledge:
Head cocked to watch mom preen:
I left after about another 40 minutes since the excitement had died down and all was well.
