I arrived at the nest to find the mother and one of the fledglings on the fire escape at 95th and Lexington just below where the nest was built in 2017. An American Kestrel was harassing them and the mother looked to be protecting the fledgling. The youngest hawk had flown to the Starbucks and another was on the nest’s fire escape.

The mother flew off and everyone made their way to the nest.  The youngest returned to the nest and the one at 95th Street flew to the roof of the nest building in a nice block long flight.  After the mother left, the one on roof joined its siblings.

I can’t wait until one of the fledglings actually perches in a tree!

Thursday Update: I was sent a photo of a fledgling in a 95th Street tree this morning.
