Hippo Playground and Joan of Arc Island

I seached all of the “regular” spots at Riverside Park on Saturday afternoon for a juvenile hawk only to come up empty handed.  I decided to leave the park via the Hippo Playground and at the top of the hill at 90th Street discovered a juvenile hawk perched in a tree.

As it got dark, the juvenile moved a few times before settling into a Ginko tree as its nighttime roost.  The tree was in the Joan of Arc park at 91st Street.

This is the exact area used by last year’s juvenile.
