The nest on Avenue A continues to do well. It’s a little crowded on the air conditioner, but they’re managing.  The parents spent most of the evening across the street on the church, with the mother making one brief visit.

The adult male brought food to the nest and the three eyasses ate on their own, a sign they’re growing up and will be fledging in a few weeks.  The eyasses can be aggressive in going after the food, and one was today, quickly taking it from their father. 

It began to rain, so I had to pack up my camera, but I still watched the nest.  After about twenty minutes of letting the eyasses work on the food by themselves, the mother came in to help them finish their meal.

The trio at Avenue A and Third Street are doing well, however their window could use some cleaning after they leave!  It’s going to be a little tight on that nest once jump/flapping starts.

We might have a repeat of last year, where one of the hawks fledges much later than its siblings!

The Avenue A & 3rd Street nest hatched about a week ago.  There are three eyasses.  Tonight I arrived just as their mother return to the nest and fed them.  The father was on top of a cross on a nearby church.

After visiting Washington Square it was off to Avenue A, and the new location of the Tompkins Square Park nest.  This location is going to be hard to photograph.  But the apartment owners have set up a camera, Avenue A Camera, so it should be a fun nest to follow.
