Bobby Hawk delivers food to the nest – April 29th, 2019

Sadie was sitting on the outer edge of the nest bowl when I arrived at Washington Square Park today.

I walked around the park a little to look for Bobby when I saw Sadie bringing a leafy twig to the nest (she had slipped out without my noticing):

Resting again:

She flew back out of the nest nearly 10 minutes later. She flew out of the park, traveling not very high above the northwestern trees.

She returned to the nest 3 minutes later:

Another 5 minutes passed when all of a sudden Bobby appeared, toting a pigeon kill.

He brought the meal to the side of the building across the street from the nest building:

He plucked it for a few minutes then brought the meal to the nest.

Scrunch and spring:

He flew right down the street after making his delivery:

He stopped at the scaffolding surrounding the old church tower:

I don’t think the men working underneath him noticed his arrival:

He didn’t even sit for a full minute before flying south:

Circling with One World Trade in the distance:

He spent a few minutes circling before heading northeast and landing on the Con Edison tower:

The Hawks seemed to have settled down at this point so I took the chance to leave when all was so quiet.
