Young Hawk overlooks the Lower East Side – December 10th, 2018

I was en route to Washington Square Park when I spotted a young Red-tailed Hawk sitting atop an apartment building in the Lower East Side of Manhattan:

It was quite relaxed:

I watched it for about 10 minutes before I carried on and went to the park.

A Red-bellied Woodpecker made itself obvious with its loud calls and big swoops from tree to tree:

I could only stay in the park for around half an hour and unfortunately did not see either of the resident Red-tailed Hawks in that time. A fellow Hawk-watcher has seen them both so we know they are around.
