Fledgling’s Second Day Back

The fledgling that has just been returned to the Washington Square Park was seen around 4th Street and Mercer most of the day.  The earliest report I saw was 10 am and there was a report it roosted in a tree there tonight.  It was on the ground briefly at 3 pm, which caused some alarm. 

I arrived around 4 pm, and first saw the new male, and then the mother, on a building a between Broadway and Mercer about 20 stories up.  Then some American Robins alerted me to where the fledgling was, on a street lamp, tucked inside a tree.  After about an hour the fledgling started branching on the tree to a more comfortable spot.  By then both adults were nowhere to be seen.
