This wonderful round of shots simply takes my breath away! Thank you again for being my eyes on our skies! (I have also followed your postings since the days of the first stories about red-tails nesting at NYU.) What a gift for New Yorkers this is.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and don’t get too cold outdoors!

In reply to Jeanne. Hi. I was very excited to get all three in the shot. I had to wait until they all gathered 'in the lens'. Thanks, Jeanne!

Thank you Roger_Paw for all you do. I have been following you since the days of Pip. Your photography is marvelous!

I wish that more people could be as gracious and accepting of our differences as the birds were that day!

Bobby seems to be more aggressive w/ the younger hawk, than w/ the Bald Eagle…
Perhaps , he knew instinctually , the Eagle was “traveling through” , while the younger hawk was considered an interloper of the long held territory. The shot of the three birds in one lens was exciting …did you find it so , for you , as you sighted the skies?
Sadie , our female , seemed content to watch ,as the territorial males defended their presumed personal space.
Thanks for the exciting pictures,Roger_Paw. You were out in some chilly weather. It sounds as if
Thanksgiving Day will be very chilly…stay warm .

In reply to Susan Addelston. Thank you! There were moments when I was worried for Bobby (the Eagle was so much bigger than him) but he held his own and let the Eagle know in his own way that it was not welcome. These raptors seem to have an understanding. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

One is grateful for your accurate eye & telling detail. Happy that our WSP hawks are safe, well-fed and together. Thanksgiving blessings on all – avians and the humans who care for them and monitor their lives for our enjoyment and delight. Much appreciated.
