310 West 72nd Street Fledgling

I got to Riverside Drive and 72nd Street and after a few minutes heard lots of American Robin alarm calls, which led me to one of the newly fledged hawks from West 72nd Street nest. I had it for about ten minutes before I lost track of it. I continued to hear robin calls, but couldn’t find the fledgling. One of the parents flew over the calling robins, and then perched on 344 West 72nd Street.

I was about to give up for the afternoon when I saw a fledgling cross Riverside Drive and perch on a building at 311 West 72nd Street. It moved around making small flights between chimneys and vents, before flying across the street to 300 West 72nd Street.

After about 15 minutes, it perched on 305 West 72nd Street on a window ledge. After about 30 minutes, a parent brought it a snack.
