Today’s visit was one of those ultra mellow ones where the Washington Square Park Hawks just sit in place. It made it easy to keep my eye on them because I had all three of them in my sight line for a while.
I found the fledgling about 10 minutes after I arrived. She was quite high up in a tree. She spent the entire two hours in the same section of the tree. She did have a few adventures in between bouts of preening and stretching: A couple of squirrels got close to her branch so she spread her wings a bit to scare them off and a Blue Jay squawked at her but didn’t dive-bomb her this time.

The fledgling would watch whatever prey would walk on the lawn:

After about an hour and a half the sun was getting in my eyes so I moved and spotted Bobby on the NYU Education Building flag pole in the distance. I have no idea when he arrived but he wasn’t there at the start of my visit:
I looked at the Silver Center flag pole and there was Sadie!
It was good to have all the Hawk there at once and appearing well.
I wrapped up my visit and left the park with everyone still on their respective perches:
