A warm day in Washington Square resulted in some behavior changes. Instead of needing to keep the eyasses warm Rosie could stand up and just watch them. However, as much as I hoped for a small glimpse of the youngsters from the park, they’re still too small to be seen.
Red-tailed Hawks aren’t know for taking baths, but in New York City we get to see them now and again. I bet the slices of the youngsters may encourage the adults to bath this time of year!

It was nice to be in Washington Square Park this evening and watch the family be just that. Dad keeping watch, Mom feeding the eyasses, and the eyasses (baby hawks) being themselves.

It was fun being in the park when the second eyass hatched. It gave us an opportunity to watch both the female and the male see eyass number two for the first time and see their reactions. For Rosie it was a relaxed flight around the park. For Bobby the need to find a rodent to add to the collection of food on the nest.
The dull brooding period is over. Let the fun begin!
Bobby hunted for himself in near darkness just before 8 p.m. before going to roost.
