Bobby was on the southwestern corner building when I arrived at Washington Square Park:
Sadie was standing up in the nest:
Bobby jumped off his perch after 3 minutes and circled above the western side of the park before flying north:
Back to watching Sadie:
I had been watching Sadie for 25 minutes when all of a sudden I spotted Bobby on One Fifth:
I had checked that corner on and off while I watched Sadie so I had a good idea of when he landed.
Sadie started feeding the babies.
Bobby left One Fifth after 8 minutes but I lost where he went.
Another 15 minutes passed when all of a sudden Sadie stood at the nest edge with a morsel in her bill:
She took her meat toward the low buildings lining the eastern side of the park but I didn’t see where she landed. She reappeared 2 minutes later and flew to NYU’s Silver Center building:
She then flew to a water tower ladder further back on the same building:
All of these perches are in eyesight of the nest. The Hawks could zip into the nest in 3 seconds if they had to.
A bird started harassing Sadie so she chased it away from her. This might have been the fastest I ever saw her fly:
Bobby and she circled over the trees together then Bobby flew to the nest. Sadie followed him in.
Sadie:
He spent the next 5 minutes flying high above the park before disappearing northward again:
I left Washington Square and was in a different park close by when I spotted an Ovenbird. Unfortunately it was in no mood to see me though:
