A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk got the run of Washington Square Park all day. It flew all around the park chasing pigeons and catching and eating three rodents during its stay.
I followed it around for five hours (much longer than I expected to be in the park) but I just had to stay to see if and when one of the adult Hawks would chase it out of the park.
Bobby circled with it right before sunset and got into a tussle with it before chasing it east out of the park.

I only saw the Washington Square Park Red-tailed Hawks for an hour this morning but they put on quite a show in that brief time.
