Little Heads at Washington Square Park
It’s amazing how fast eyasses grow. This year at Washington Square Park, without a web camera, that’s a good thing. Two eyasses were visible feeding today with small heads peaking out during feedings.
Fifth Avenue Baby Pictures
I got to see at least one of the new Fifth Avenue eyasses (newly hatched hawks) today. From the feeding behavior of Octavia, there looked to be at least one other eyass in the nest. We’ll see in a few days if it’s two or three in total.
2014 Manhattan Score Card Update 3
A number of established nests have hatched over the last week. These include Pale Male’s nest on Fifth Avenue, Washington Square Park, Swindler’s Cove and St. John the Divine.
Washington Square Park Nest Hatches
The Washington Square Park nest hatched while I was away on vacation. The eyesses are still too small to photograph well, but I did capture what looks like a youngster on video between some twigs. We should get better views within a week or two.
Sheep Meadow
For the last few weeks I’ve been keeping track of a new Red-tailed Hawk pair in Sheep Meadow of Central Park. Most of us who knew about the pair decided to keep them under the radar while they got established. But a photograph was recently showed on the palemale.com site, so now that the secrets out I think it’s reasonable to share some photographs.
Almost Done
In Washington Square Park, Rosie and Bobby should have young ones within the next week or so. They both looked good tonight with both them taking turns keeping the eggs warm on the nest.
