Fifth Avenue
The young Fifth Avenue hawks look great. They should be leaving the nest in a week or so. All we have to do is watch and wait.
The Century Peregrine Falcons
The young Peregrine Falcons on Central Park West are big enough to see finally. I saw two of them on Saturday and both the parents. My understanding is there might be a third youngster.
Almost Grown Up On Fifth Avenue
While they still have some growing up to do before leaving the nest, the eyasses look more and more grown up every day. They’re eating on their own now. Pale Male on the nest in the beginning of the video, followed by Octavia.
310 West 72nd Street Family
This afternoon, I got to see both parents on the nest and the eyass. It was nice to see all three hawks.
(A few folks have asked me about when the rescued eyass. I trust the folks at WINORR to make the correct choice about what to do with the eyass. There are so many factors involved, I wouldn’t even try to second guess the experts.)
Washington Square Parents And A Feeding
The Washington Square Park eyass is looking more and more like a fledgling every day. It still has a bit of maturing to do but gone is the fluffy youngster of a few weeks ago.
310 West 72nd Street
Yesterday, the rehabilitator, Bobby Horvath of WINORR (Wildlife In Need of Rescue and Rehabilitation) got a call about an eyass crying from behind a flowerpot on a penthouse roof. When Bobby arrived he found not only a Red-tailed Hawk eyass, but also a nest with a mother and another eyass, 75 feet from the lost eyass. The eyass that was crying was taken into rehabilitation and is doing fine.
The nest is hidden from the street and only if the remaining eyass stands up in just the right place can you see it. The nest is in a decorative gutter that runs the length of the facade, and is on the eastern end of the building. The pair is most likely the same pair that nested a block away last year.
