I visited Washington Square Park early today and got to see who I’m pretty sure was Bobby fly into the northwest trees. I was looking at the northwestern trees when he silently flew from over my left shoulder and into the trees. As he flew I thought, ‘Huh. That’s a very big bird. Oh, a Hawk!’
He flew right into the foliage. I was sure he landed in that particular tree but I couldn’t find him so I guess he gave me the slip.
I looked through the park then north and east of the park for a couple of hours but no dice.I visited the park and surrounding area last Saturday but did not see either of the Hawks.***
After my park visit today I got to enjoy the company of a female American Redstart a couple of blocks from the park:
She had a few tussles with another female:
They took their fight to different bush clusters:
She flitted about on the ground, curbs, and bench:
I was in a secluded spot so she was free to hop around unabashed. Of course, I could have been looking at both females at different times.
