Hi! The Hawks have countless tuck-away spots on the buildings within their territory. I haven’t been out during a blizzard or really bad snow storm to check on them because it’s just such bad weather for me to be out in and and I know I won’t find them (they hide out really well). I’ve never seen them use the nest or nest ledge to hide from bad weather.

In heavy rain we’ll find Bobby sitting in a corner of one of the NYU building’s facades. It has a big overhang that shields him from the rain.

Other times he and his mate at the time will sit out in the rain to take a shower.

Do you know , Roger_Paw , where our hawks go in a lovely snow storm of/ blizzard conditions w/ wind, cold and snowfall? Do they just batten down the hatches under an eave or would they ever seek shelter in the nest…or is that reserved only for sitting on eggs and raising the hatchlings?
I enjoy the education you and Carlene offer ,about our hawks and other “flying wonders” in the park.
Thank you .
