I missed a lot of sweet Bobby and Sadie action before I visited Washington Square Park today. A fellow Hawk-watcher saw Bobby on Silver and Sadie fly into the trees which was pretty exciting because almost never see her in the trees.
Bobby was on Silver when I arrived:
He was off soon, circling above the eastern border of the park:
Balancing against the wind gust:
A kestrel found him and started to dive-bomb him so he circled with the kestrel as he flew south then west:
The kestrel still tagging along:
Bobby finally giving it the slip as he flew higher and higher:
He landed on One Fifth:
He flew to one of the other ledges before jumping off, circling the building, then disappearing northward:
I didn’t find him again or see Sadie but did catch some geese migrating south:
