My four hour Hawk visit at Washington Square Park today was rather quiet despite its duration. The young Hawk mostly relaxed and had only a couple of jump-flap/flying sessions.
Bobby and Sadie were impressive with their high circling together. They followed each other west then north and back to the park.
