Meal Time
A feeding on Fifth Avenue. Pictures and video say it all…
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.
Tonight, Pale Male and Octavia, plus their three eyasses were on view for most of the evening. So much fun to watch all of them.
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.
On the Northeast light post of the soccer field north of Icahn Stadium is the 2013 Randalls Island Red-tailed Hawk nest. The female of the nest was sitting on the eggs. She sat low on the nest and when she settled in after getting in did the back and forth wiggle a brooding mother does.
So, I don’t thing we’ve had a hatch yet out on Randalls Island.
