Fifth Avenue
Another great day watching the 5th Avenue nest. The next ten days are peak nest watching days. Make a visit if you can!
Randalls Island
I finally had time to go out to Randalls Island and see this year’s nest. There seem to be two eyasses this year. The nest is in the lights of Field 10, just north of the stadium.
2018 Manhattan Nest Update 11
I finally had a chance to get to Randalls Island, and found two eyasses in the nest. That brings the 2018 eyass count for Manhattan to fifteen.
Feeding On Fifth Avenue
The two eyasses on Fifth Avenue got fed mid-afternoon. One of them was taking bites that were a little too big resulting in a bit of a tug-of-war. It was fun to watch.
Common Nighthawk
I’m not sure if it’s the same bird as last week, but the Ramble in Central Park had another Common Nighthawk sighting today. It was high up but in an exposed location making it easy to see.
In The Rain
The three eyasses at 96th Street looked like they were doing well. Their mother seems to be doing well without her mate. She wasn’t on the nest, nor did I see her, but the eyasses looked well fed.
