Tompkins Square Park Lunch
The Tompkins Square Park hawks look fantastic. They’re doing well in their tree nest after two years on air conditioners. All three youngsters look healthy and well fed.
Fifth Avenue on Thursday
I’ve gotten behind in processing photos and video over the last few days. These are pictures of the Fifth Avenue nest from Thursday evening.
Show Offs On Fifth Avenue
The eyasses at Fifth Avenue are getting big enough that a visit to the nest is a rewarding visit even without watching a feeding. I had a lot of fun watching them this evening.
Washington Square Feeding
This afternoon, I got to witness a very nice feeding of the single eyass at Washington Square Park. Both parents were very attentive of their single child.
Tompkins Square Park
The three eyasses at Tompkins Square Park and their parents were all seen this evening. As the young ones get bigger their parents are leaving the nest unattended more often and feedings are less frequent. They’re getting grayer and less white with their primary feathers starting to be visible. It’s great to see the family doing so well.
Chuck Will’s Widow
After many gray days, Central Park had sunshine and a nice selection of migrants, including a Chuck Will’s Widow. This species usually roosts high in a tree, but this on settled on a limb only a foot off the ground, giving Central Park birders some of their best views in memory of this bird.
