I couldn’t find the Fifth Avenue fledglings today, but did get to spend a good deal of time watching Pale Male on the bridle path just south of the Central Park Reservoir. Octavia flew in and out briefly, but otherwise Pale Male just relaxed in the hot weather.
For about two hours the Washington Square Park fledgling perched on two locations, the Furman Hall roof and the cross of Judson Memorial Church. He briefly circled the park but returned to the cross. Not much excitement, but it was nice to watch him.
The three fledglings in Tompkins Square Park were having a great time on Sunday afternoon. They were very active and played on the ground chasing sticks, one had a meal, and another ended up bathing in a playground fountain. Just like any youngster, it’s so fun to watch them learn through play.
The fledglings in Tompkins Square Park are still being feed by their father. This evening one of them got a pigeon. The fledglings have begun to explore beyond the park as well, with the abandoned school on 9th Street becoming a common destination.
Tompkins Square Park continues to be lots of fun with fledglings enjoying the park and the fenced in lawns. Friday afternoon had two enjoying the east side of the park.
One Friday afternoon, I caught up with the Washington Square Park fledgling in a tree about 50 yards west of the fountain. While I was there he spent at least 45 minutes preening and looking at the pigeons near his perch. He looked in no rush to move on the hot and humid afternoon, so I took off for Tompkins Square Park.
