We get tons of tourists (and neighbors of several years) walking through the park who have no idea that Hawks have lived there for the past 8 years. Some neighbors have told me they’ve seen a Hawk in the park but didn’t know they were residents.

The man in the picture was spooked by the huge bird flying past him seemingly out of nowhere but he laughed the encountered off. He seemed genuinely delighted by the experience.

Do the park goers not realize there are Red-tailed hawks that live and breed there? It’s surely one of the great wonders of living in New York, but perhaps not everyone feels that way.

Thanks, Jeanne! All that playtime from 2012 was super fun. I don’t think I’d seen Rosie so playful before. Cheers!

So happy to know and see all 3 fledglings together and doing well.
It is indeed a Happy 4/th.
