There was a good amount of Hawk activity during my two hour visit to Washington Square Park today.
The two hatchlings were awake but not particularly active at first.

Springtime Central Park birding pics from April 28th, 2014
We’re in the middle of a rainy streak in New York City so there isn’t much Hawk-watching to do for another day or so.

Without even intending to, we soon wound up at Pale Male’s nest.
We had good timing because he appeared soaring in the sky before we could reach the best place to view his nest from. He was toting food for his new hatchlings. He and Octavia have two babes this Spring.

Bobby and Rosie delivering food to their young – April 18th, 2014

Little did I know I’d see it perched there again later in the day (pic included further below).
Bobby then Rosie delivered their own pigeons to the nest today in order to feed their new hatchlings.
