The remaining two Hawk kids fledged today. The second bird fledged at 5:25AM, the third at about 6:06PM. All the fledglings are safe and sound from what I’ve heard from a fellow Hawk-watcher.
The first fledgling (F1 I’ll refer to it as for convenience’s sake) appeared to have roosted at One Fifth Avenue, the building I last saw it on yesterday afternoon. I was informed that it flew from One Fifth to a high point of NYU’s Silver Center building around 8:00AM. Dad Bobby was perched several feet below it.
F2 (the second fledgling) flew from the nest to the low buildings outside the northern border of Washington Square Park. It then dropped into a tree by its building just before 9:00AM. Rosie and Bobby sat in the same tree as the fledgling. It must have been an absolutely beautiful sight and the people who saw it all said it was amazing.
The parents went their separate ways but F2 stayed in its tree. I got to the park at 9:30AM and got to photograph it in its tree.
