Hungry Youngsters
The three eyasses at the Fifth Avenue nest continue to be easier to see with each passing day. Today, I got to see a visit by Pale Male and two feedings.
Washington Square Evening
I only spend about an hour at the Washington Square nest this evening. Both eyasses were having a relaxed time on the nest.
St. John the Divine Duo
I had the good fortune to be at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine nest at the right time to see two eyasses on the nest. We never know for sure how many eyasses are on this nest until late in the season. For some reason it’s easy of for a third eyass to hide in this nest.
Fluffy Trio
The eyasses at Fifth Avenue have gotten big enough that you can see their heads during feedings. Today, I got to see all three of them for the first time.
Growing Up
One of the surprises of hawk watching is how fast the hawks on a nest grow. Over the last few days, the eyasses have begun to get their chest coloring. And their tails are now long enough that we can see stripes.
It was a nice evening in park, although the high winds bounced my camera around a bit. Highlights of the evening include watching the parents on One Fifth Avenue and watching the eyasses get close to the edge of the ledge.
Fantastic Fifth Avenue
While I only could see one eyass from street level, and not the three that have been seen from building terraces, I still had a fantastic visit to Fifth Avenue this evening.
Both parents were very active attending to their newborns. Pale Male hunted and removed leftovers. The mother fed the eyasses (watch the video) and snuggled up to with them at nightfall.
