The Red-tailed Hawks of Washington Square Park, NYC… mostly
As promised, at long last is my account of Day 6 of my Tasmania birding tour (a trip taken in November of 2012!).
The evening of Day 5 left me at Mountain Valley Wilderness Reserve where we got to see Tasmanian Devils eat fresh meat left for them on our cabin porches.
In the morning I awoke to the sight of a wild Tasmanian Native Hen family outside:
I visited Washington Square Park twice today in the hopes of finding Rosie but had no luck. But I did get to see Bobby the second time I visited the park.
A huge raptor appeared from the northeast, flew past One Fifth Avenue, over the park, then continued flying southwest. I could tell it was not Bobby or Rosie. A friend and I pored over the photos I took and we are pretty sure it was a juvenile Bald Eagle passing through.
