Just Like Mom and Dad

By D. Bruce YoltonAugust 2, 2009December 24, 2020Riverside Park Red-tailed Hawks

During the week I was away the flegling learned to fly high along Riverside Drive exploring buildings from the 70’s through the 100’s.   Today, when I caught up with the fledgling, I discovered that it had learned to perch on street lights, just like its parents.
