Red-tailed Hawk landing on nest, Bobst Library, NYU, New York City

BREAKING: Pip has fledged!!!

I hope the jpg you see at the bottom posts ok.. it is of a screen grab from the moment when I let others in the web cam chat room know that Pip had fledged! A fellow Hawk-watcher called me at 11:55 with the news that she had JUST seen Pip fly from the ledge and to a building nearby. She soared and landed perfectly!!! I will be down at the park after work to try to find her and photograph/video her. I called Andy from the Times (City Room blogger).

Here is his City Room blog breaking post:
