Washington Square
On Tuesday, I had a peaceful visit to Washington Square and had great views of Rosie and both fledglings.
Cry Babies
During the few hours I was with the Fifth Avenue fledglings I heard lots of crying for food. None was delivered, although both parents were seen.
The crying doesn’t mean the kids aren’t being fed. I’m sure the parents know what they’re doing. I suspect we’ll see the kids trying to hunt for themselves and possibly migrate up to Cedar Hill over the next week.
All Three Fledglings and A Food Fight
Hawk watching in the late afternoon on Saturday was lots of fun at Fifth Avenue. All three fledglings were in the park close together. All of them were calling for food on and off, and Pale Male delivered a rodent.
On fledgling quickly brought the meal to the ground and started to eat it. But the other two fledlings started to express their desire to share the rat. Eventually, one of the fledglings took the rat from its sibling.
There are lots of eating pictures in this post, so if that bothers you skip this entry.
Single Fledgling
I got to see one of the Washington Square fledglings and both parents this evening. The fledglings are starting to venture outside of the park, so I think the area hawk watchers are going to need to work harder to find them in the upcoming weeks.
Lovely Fledgling
I only had a brief visit to Central Park today. I only found one fledgling, and briefly one of the parents.
Calm Fledglings
Tonight the two fledglings were calm after the thunderstorms. One was in a tree on the east side of the park, and the other on a building on the SW corner of the park. One of the parents arrived with a Rock Pigeon and the juvenile in the park joined the mother and took the pigeon from her.
Other than this not much happened.
