I spent most of the weekend bird watching, so I only shot about 15 minutes of hawks over the last two days. I did get to see the Fifth Avenue nest on Sunday afternoon.
We’re at about the halfway point between hatching and fledgling at Washington Square. It’s an awkward stage between fluff and juvenile feathers. But flapping has begun, as has ledge exploration, so it’s a great time to watch them.
This evening at St. John, a feeding revealed three eyasses in the nest. This beautiful location continues to consistently give us young hawks year after year.
At the base of the Astoria Queens side of the RFK Bridge is an established nest of Red-tailed Hawks. It’s one of the easiest nests to watch in the city and this year has at least two eyasses.
