The Washington Square Hawks were in fine form today. I watched them perch and briefly mate on the ConEd tower (my only time seeing them mate this season). Others have seen them mate all over the park several times!
Bobby then flew to the park and broke off a stick for the nest. He returned to the ConEd tower and perched on areas of the tower I’d never seen him on before. It was quite the amount of action packed into an hour and 15 minutes.
As evening fell I watched Bobby tidy the nest then fly off to his evening roost hours later (video further below).
Both Hawks on the tower:
