Getting Ready
While it doesn’t look like the new female at 5th Avenue has laid an egg quite yet, it sure looks like she’s about too. She spent the day on the nest and made some exchanges with Pale Male.

It was a relaxed afternoon in Washington Square. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, which is how it should be!
Nothing special on Friday afternoon. Just Bobby perching on various buildings around the park and two nest visits.
Rosie took her time while off the nest this evening. I could not find her for the longest time, but then she eat leftovers on the Washington Square Arch and then the corner of an apartment building Bobby likes to catch pigeons on.
She returned to the nest and Bobby perched an a few buildings on the east side of the park before I needed to leave.
It was a fun evening tonight. Rosie was off the nest when I arrived and was hunting in the park. She returned to the nest empty. Bobby went off to a flagpole, and then disappeared. He then arrived on the SE corner of Washington Square Arch with a pigeon.
Soon afterwards, Rosie left the nest and took the pigeon from Bobby. He tended to the nest while Rosie ate. When Rosie was done, she returned to the nest and Bobby ate the leftovers.
Bobby then went to roost in a tree in the park.
The Fifth Avenue pair looked like a couple getting ready for spring. Like last year, they are going to have a late start.
Today, they copulated twice while I watched them and Pale Male visited the nest twice.
