Fifth Avenue
The hatch window on Fifth Avenue starts in a few days. Chances are that we might have eyasses by next weekend. Here are some pictures of the new female.
St. John the Divine
Both the Morningside Hawks and The Origin of Species blogs have reported feedings at the St. John the Divine nest. I made a brief visit on Saturday. I didn’t catch a feeding but it sure looks like they hatched from the behavior of the parents.
Viewing in Person
I love watching hawks in person. New York now has a number of hawk nests that will be great to follow in person over the next few months. If you’re a hawk cam watcher or just a reader of my blog, find a nest to visit where you live!
Tiny Glimpse
I finally got to see the slightest glipse of an eyass’ head today. I’d been hoping all week to see this. I also had a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker sighting, which adds another bird species to my Washington Square Park list.
Dizzle and Gray
On a night with a little drizzle, the parents spent a good deal of their time off the nest. Rosie ate a pigeon on the Law School and there were lots of visits and exits from the nest by both birds.
As much as I try to get a glimpse of the youngsters from the ground, the eyasses are still too small.
Warmer Monday
With the warm weather, the eyasses were left to themselves by the parents a number of times this evening. Rosie and Bobby made lots of visits to the nest and the cross.
Rosie caught a squirrel late in the day, and took it the Washington Square Arch, but then took off with it. She may have cached it, since it didn’t seem to make it up to the nest.
