Still Too Little
The two eyasses are still too small to see from Washington Square Park but I did get to watch both parents this evening. The third egg is expected to hatch on Saturday.
Tompkins Square Park
I spend a cloudy evening looking to see if the Tompkins Square Park had hatched. This early on you look for behavioral queues from the parents, since an eyass will be too small to see at this point. I didn’t see any of the behavior I was hoping for. This doesn’t mean the nest hasn’t hatched. It just means that while I was there, I didn’t see any positive signs.

Fifth Avenue Feeding
The Fifth Avenue nest of Pale Male and Octavia has hatched and feedings began yesterday. I got to see two feedings and a visit to the nest by Pale Male today. We’ll be able to figure out how many eyasses there are in about a week.

Cambria, California
I’m on vacation visiting family and enjoying the central California coast. I had a great day watching sea mammals, including Harbor Seals, Elephant Seals and Sea Otters.
