Washington Square Feeding
The eyasses are still a little too small to see at Washington Square Park now, but the nest is still fun to watch. Both parents are more active and Bobby is bringing lots of food.
Tompkins Square Park Feeding
I was thrilled to see the little head of an eyass feeding at Tompkins Square Park this evening. It’s best seen by very carefully watching the parents feeding the eyass on the video. This is going to be one tough nest to watch, but I’m happy they aren’t on an air conditioner this year!
2016 Manhattan Nests – Update 6
Please email with any corrections or additions.
Updates are:
- Washington Square Park nest has hatched. One hatch confirmed, but I suspect all three have hatched by now.
- Feeding observed at Tompkins Square Park.
- Two eyasses confirmed at 116th and Riverside.
- Conflicting reports, but the 96th and Fifth nest appears to have failed.
- At least two eyasses have been been in Pale Male/Octavia’s Fifth Avenue nest.
(I suspect that Inwood Hill has hatched, but I just haven’t received a report yet.)
Two Eyasses Seen On Fifth Avenue
I visited the Fifth Avenue nest on Sunday evening and got to see two eyasses being fed by Octavia. There’s always a chance that there is a third, younger eyass still too small to be seen.
Washington Square Park Hatches
Thanks to a contact at NYU, news spread that the first of three eggs had hatched at Washington Square Park today. I went down after work to find fascinated parents, feeding the newly hatched bird, but mostly looking at the youngster. Great news on Earth Day.
Quick Glimpses of An Eyass at Fifth Avenue
I finally got to see a Fifth Avenue eyass twice tonight for a few seconds each time. They should be easier to see as the days progress. Now we just need to figure out how many there are.
