Hunting Playground

Next to the Children’s Playground at Riverside Park, we now have a Hawk Hunting Playground.  An acre of wet muddy soil for the kids to play with sticks and hunt squirrels.  Both hawks are enjoying their school days.  The parents are still feeding both fledglings, but the fledglings should soon be catching some food on their own.

I stuck around to see where the fledglings were roosting for the evening and was able to see the father and one of the fledglings go to sleep in the same tree.
