Late fall is a great time to Hawk Watch in New York City. There are lots of migrants passing through and some may even stay for the winter. Here’s a Cooper’s Hawk in Central Park.
Tonight is the last day, I can owl or hawk watch during the week. After this weekend, we’ll be back on Eastern Standard Time, and it will be dark when I leave work.
A shift of cavities found Central Park’s Eastern-Screech Owl in a familiar location from previous years. She’s lost two mates over the last few years and is now single.
I miss the duets after fly out we used to here. Now we only hear a few calls, and then silence.
The Merlin that had been hanging out on top of a watertower on Central Park West between 101st and 102nd is still there. On Tuesday, just like Sunday it caught dinner just before dusk.
