Restful parents, hop-flappy baby – June 8th, 2015

No Hawks but Fall bird migration brings nice sights – September 22nd, 2014
Today was the third day in a week I’ve been out birding to search for the Washington Square Park Red-tailed Hawks.
I did see one of them for a few seconds on Wednesday, September 17th as it flew overhead when I was approaching the Mercer Street/Cable Building fire escape but I didn’t have my camera ready so I missed getting any shots of it which was a drag. It flew past the fire escape and down toward the park. I looked all around for it but never got to see it again. And I couldn’t tell which Hawk it was unfortunately.
It has been a week since I last saw Rosie and two weeks and a day since I’ve seen Bobby. I’ve come to find that this is a pattern with them each mid-September. I’d go over a week without seeing either of the Red-tails and then they’d show up and stick around on a more regular basis.
I got to see two fall bird migrants today which was nice. I saw a female American Redstart for a few seconds then a female Common Yellowthroat.
