Tompkins Square Park
On Saturday, I caught up with the naturally born fledgling in Tompkins Square Park. She was undisturbed by the Punk Concert in the park.
Central Park
Last Friday, I tried to find the fledglings from the Fifth Avenue nest but came up short. I did run into a young adult Red-tailed Hawk in the Ramble. It was very light colored like Pale Male but had very light eye color.
Sleepy Fledglings
At Tompkins Square Park, Monday evening, I got to see both fledglings and both parents. It was late in the day and both fledglings were very sleepy. I was lucky enough to watch one of them fall asleep and roost for the night. Late July and early August hawk watching can be disappointing, so it was great to see everyone.

It’s been too hot to do much birding over the last week or so, but the weather was cooler on Sunday. I went down to Tompkins Square Park which was fairly quiet. After about an hour this year’s fledgling appeared on a TV antenna on a 7th Street roof. Other than that sighting, I didn’t get to see anything else.
Tompkins Square Park Fledglings
Both fledglings were easy to watch this afternoon in Tompkins Square Park this afternoon. Not much happened but it was nice to watch them both relax on a hot day.
Washington Square Park
I made a brief visit to Washington Square Park this evening and found the fledgling on a building in the southwest corner of the park and the adult male on 1 Fifth Avenue. Not much was happening so I went home. Soon thereafter, I got some texts from a friend that the action started as soon as I left with the fledgling coming down into the trees in the western side of the park and getting a visit from its father. Oh, well!
