I didn’t have time to compose these photos in any special way, just wanted to capture what I saw during part of a walk last night.

Morning Feeding, NYU Red-Tailed Hawks, May 7
****Update: I emailed City Room / Updates From the Nest to see if there was anything we, the public, could do to help the situation with the plastic around Violet’s leg and was told that we just need to be patient and that they understand the urgency and are working on it. Within a few minutes I received an update from the same person; he let me know a bird rehabber will be going with an NYU worker to the site this afternoon to assess the situation.
I woke early today and took these screen shots of Violet feeding her first chick. The other two eggs have still not hatched. You should have seen how gentle and attentive mom was during this feeding. A couple of chunks of meat were too big for the chick to grab hold of so they were dropped. Mom picked up each chunk, bit it down to make it into a smaller portion, then carefully fed the chick, making sure it ate. So beautiful!
Feeding was between 6:30AM – 6:38AM

Hoping to see either of the parent hawks in person, I headed down to Washington Square Park after work today. I didn’t get great shots of the hawks or nest but they were better than nothing. 🙂
