Changes from the last report:
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.
On a very windy evening, I watched the Tompkins Square Park family. What a beautiful trio.
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 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.
After visiting Tompkin Square Park, I hoped over to Washington Square Park to see the nest. Nice to see the eyass getting bigger.
