Today’s post is really a double post with pictures from March 1st and March 5th.
On March 1st we saw Juno and Sadie atop the Con Edison tower at sunset:
We watched them sunbathe and move about on the tower for around 35 minutes.

Today I spent 2 hours with the Hawks. They spent most of their time perched atop the Con Edison tower. I think I caught them mating on the tower but it was difficult to tell because the tower top ornamentation partially blocked my view.
Spring buds in Washington Square Park already:
The two atop the Con Edison tower:
I walked closer to the tower.
This is when I think I caught them in the act:
A closer and finer look at the pair (Juno on the left):
Juno flying off the tower:
Sadie flew off as well but I didn’t see which direction she went.
There was then lots of flying about for the Hawks but I couldn’t tell which bird was which at that time.
Flying past the Zeckendorf Towers:
Sadie back on the tower:
She flew off the tower again and headed toward Washington Square Park.
A fellow Hawk-watcher and I went to the park and found Juno on the NYU building closest to the nest:
One of the last pictures I took before leaving for the day:
