The following pictures of the Washington Square Park Hawk family are from a three hour visit at the park today.
The Hawk youngster rested, preened, had hearty jump flaps, and a meal or two during my outing.
Both parents visited the nest ledge and Bobby brought a bit of a pigeon meal from the nest to a regular ‘dinner table’ atop a railing of NYU’s Pless Building. That spot is where the adult Hawks have left meals for the fledglings in past years.

Mama Sadie visiting the nest:
She ate part of the food that was in the nest:
Bobby on a new perch on the opposite side of the park:
The babe approached mom and looked like it was checking her beak for tidbits:
Sadie out:
Bobby in:
He soon brought it to the Pless dinner table:
He ate a bit then flew to a railing on Silver Center, leaving a bulk of the pigeon on the railing.
Bobby on Silver:
He moved to a new spot of Silver before I left for the day:
