J. Hood Wright Park
I finally had a chance to get up to J. Hood Wright Park and found the mother doing her best to keep her eyasses out of the sun. After the sun got lower, she took a break. The nest has three eyasses this year.

Fifth Avenue Feeding
This evening, after doing a little birding, I watched a feeding at the Fifth Avenue nest. It’s wonderful to see a predator be so gentle with her offspring.
Tompkins Square Park In The Wind
On a very windy evening, I watched the Tompkins Square Park family. What a beautiful trio.
FIfth Avenue Hawk Bench
I sat on the “hawk bench” on Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the view of the Pale Male and Octavia’s nest, as well as the many observers of the nest. After all these years, the nest continues to delight tourists and locals alike.
Washington Square Park Eyass and Kentucky Warbler
Washington Square Park was full of birders after a beautiful male Kentucky Warbler this afternoon. After photographing the Kentucky, I watched the nest briefly. I saw my first wing flap from the eyass, a great sign of things to come.
