Brief Visit to TSP
I stopped by Tompkins Square Park this evening but only stayed briefly. They wind was strong enough to make watching the nest difficult. I did catch a feeding and was able to see one of the eyasses.
2018 Manhattan Nest Update 13
We can add two more eyasses for Manhattan now that we can see the youngsters at Tompkins Square Park. This brings us to a confirmed number of 18 eyasses for the season. As always, I’m sure we’ve missed a nest or two. We must be missing a nest or two this year in Harlem and The Heights.
We’ll soon be seeing lots of eyasses leave their nests over the next three weeks. I suspect we’ll see some fledges late this week. Hawk watchers who’ve been stuck on a bench for two and a half months are going to get lots of exercise soon!

At Least Two Eyasses in Tompkins Square Park
We finally got to see an eyass after watching feedings for a week in Tompkins Square Park. I was able to see two at once, so we’ve got at least two, possibly three eyasses this year.
Both Christo and Amelia were involved in the feedings today, and Christo as taken to staying close to the nest when he’s not on it. It’s so nice that after all the drama earlier this year, things are back to normal.
Watched Over
The three eyasses at 96th Street looked great and the should be fledging in a week or two. It will be interesting to see where they fledge to. Usually New York City nests have real parks nearby. This nest has more of an asphalt school playground then a real park nearby.
Grant’s Tomb
I took a trip up to Grant’s Tomb to see the eyasses before they fledged. The three looked great. No sign of the parents, but that’s not surprising this late. I’m sure they were nearby.
