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.
Quick Visit To Washington Square Park At Dusk
After visiting Tompkin Square Park, I hoped over to Washington Square Park to see the nest. Nice to see the eyass getting bigger.
Tompkins Square Park Only Child?
Despite lots of looking by the hawk watchers of Tompkins Square Park, we’ve only seen one eyass who is now fairly big. Although I’d be happy to be wrong, it looks like we have an only child.
Eastern Whip-Poor-Will
Blue Jays alerted me to an Eastern Whip-Poor-Will about 50 feet south of the waterfall at The Pond near Sixth Avenue around 62nd. It was a fun find on a damp day.
