Red-tailed Hawk landing on nest, Bobst Library, NYU, New York City

*Bonus Pics!* Washington Square Hawk baby the day before her fledge. Pics from June 9th, 2017

I had promised on fledge day that I’d post these photos sometime and the time has come! These pics were taken during the long Washington Square outing I had the day before she made her mighty fledge. The pics were taken over the course of six hours.

Watching mom on One Fifth:

Time for some jump-flapping:

Stretch:

Looking out intently. Is this the moment of her fledge??

Nope!

Sunset marks her with a yellowing glow:

Sunset through the trees:

Quiet ledge as night falls:
