Eastern Cottontail Rabbits
There are now two Eastern Cottontail Rabbits being seen in Shakespeare Garden and there might be more in The Ramble. The two were eating plants and out in the open on Thursday evening.
Feedings at TCC
The eyasses are still a little too small to see at the Terence Cardinal Cooke nest. But I did get to see the eyasses get fed and also watched both parents eat on the New York Academy of Medicine building. By next weekend, we should be able to see the eyasses clearly. Although at this early stage they spend much of their time sleeping, so be prepared to wait for the moment they get fed every two hours or so.
Tompkins Square Park Hatches
Both Laura Goggin (Laura Goggin Photography) and Jean Shum saw two feeding at Tompkins Square Park today. I learned of the hatch and after the thunderstorms went down to have a look. I saw a rodent being delivered and a very short feeding. This is always a fun nest to watch and I look forward to many visits this year.
Washington Square Park
The nest hasn’t hatched and we’re still in the dull period of waiting. I got to see the eggs get rolled and that was about it last this afternoon. Reports from the President’s office are that there are three eggs.
Barred Owl
The Central Park Barred Owl gave those watching her after fly out some great looks for about an hour on Monday night. She flew out while it was still fairly light out, stayed near the roost and then went to the Evodia Feeders. Then it was off to the lawn of the Tupelo Meadow and then a loop around the hill that goes up to the castle. We finally lost her as she flew east, south of the Tupelo Tree. Watching her on the lawn was a treat!
Washington Square Park
It was quiet in the park with the female on the nest and only a brief visit by the male (after I had put away my camera). She rolled the eggs once and that was about it. Just what I was expecting.
