Thank you so much, Sue! Don’t feel bad; the Hawks can be tricky to find sometimes as you no doubt have read in my posts! Thanks for following along all this time!

The photos are exciting and sometimes spectacular. Despite living not far away from Washington Square Park I have never succeeded in seeing any of the hawks when I’ve been there so I am happy to be able to follow you!! Thank you so much from this fellow New Yorker.
Sue Hochberg

You made my day, Shirley! Thank you so much for your lovely words. I would be out there anyway in all the seasons to check on our Hawks but the bonus of being able to share what I see with others makes it all the more fun! Thank you!

I was thinking how lucky you are to live near enough to our hawk family so that you can treat us with gorgeous pictures when the camera is on and when it isn’t. I love the picture of the pigeon. We have lots of pigeons here (Augusta, Maine), but none of them look terribly exciting. The moo cows are my favorite. Oh, lost my train of thought… In addition to thinking how lucky you are to live there, I often think about the long hours you spend out in the area, walking for what seems like miles, and doing it in the heat of August, or the February cold winds. I am so grateful to you for taking the time to give us a glimpse into this window on the hawks world. For so many years, I longed to be able to tell you how much I love the pictures and how grateful I am for your “work”, but only recently was able to thank you in the closest thing to person. :)) Thank you so much!

How nice to have someone reminisce about those days when there weren’t any cams but still pix! And Pale Male must have the record for progeny…I’m just sorry that we can’t get any of these RT’s banded…it would be so good to know if any return to Manhattan or another part of the city after their initial migration! The Ospreys in Dyfi (Wales) have had TWO returns over the past two years, a male and a female, and a third is located in Denmark! What a treat to see them come back to their home bases! Thanks for everything, Roger-Paw.

Thanks, Karen! I hope the fledgling turned out OK. I hope you get to find that nest one day. 🙂

I have ‘my’ own family of RTH in the woods to the left of my house (north ATL suburbs). I take outdoor yoga next door, closer to the nest, which I cannot find for anything. It’s great to hear them waking up in the early a.m.!

Yesterday, o e was sitting on the raised post on my back deck. In my haste to raise the blinds ever so slowly to take a pic, he saw me and flew off.

A few years ago, one of the hawks, had to be a fledgling, was stuck for several hours in the woods, on the ground. He had, what looked like a green tendril wrapped around his foot. Just when I was online with the NYU people, my husband said he flew off.

I believe there is a raptor center further north than me. They were going to be my next call, but I was so busy asking what to do when the feed was still live.

Anyway, thanks so much for your beautiful pics and narrative of ‘our ‘ hawks.

Thanks, Dottie! Yes, I’d love to see a picture of your Hawks. Thanks for commenting!

I love watching the Redtails with you . I have a family of Red Shouldered Hawks that frequent a huge Cottonwood in my backyard. When I get a good picture I’ll send it on.

Thanks, Avel! It’s always fun to discover ‘new’ Hawk spots on our beautiful buildings.
