All Three Fledglings and A Food Fight

Hawk watching in the late afternoon on Saturday was lots of fun at Fifth Avenue.  All three fledglings were in the park close together.  All of them were calling for food on and off, and Pale Male delivered a rodent.

On fledgling quickly brought the meal to the ground and started to eat it.  But the other two fledlings started to express their desire to share the rat.  Eventually, one of the fledglings took the rat from its sibling.

There are lots of eating pictures in this post, so if that bothers you skip this entry.
