The Red-tailed Hawks of Washington Square Park, NYC… mostly
The Washington Square Hawks have been seen in the park by fellow Hawk-watchers recently during my brief break. They even saw Bobby roosting at his warm hotel/restaurant perch we call The Red Roost Inn one evening.
I saw both Sadie and Bobby today for over an hour before they flew up up and away.

I visited mid Central Park for the first time in ages on the 2nd. I think I saw Pale Male flying from east to west for a couple of seconds but never got a chance to photograph him. I did see other nice birds though, some of them migrants.
Cardinal in mid scratch:
I missed a lot of sweet Bobby and Sadie action before I visited Washington Square Park today. A fellow Hawk-watcher saw Bobby on Silver and Sadie fly into the trees which was pretty exciting because almost never see her in the trees.
Bobby was on Silver when I arrived:
