Pale Male
Pale Male has been hanging around the 79th Street Transverse in Central Park this week and I found him on both sides of it this afternoon and early evening. He’s molting so he looks a bit rough.
Tompkins Square Park Fledgling Healthier
For the last two weeks, the native fledgling in Tompkins Square Park has been lethargic and frequently seen closing its eyes during the day. Today, much to the relief of the hawk watchers in the park, she was back to normal.
Darien Osprey
The Osprey platform out in Scot Cove in Darien, Connecticut only had one chick this year. Nevertheless, it was fun going out to watch the family for a third year.
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.
