Toddlers at St. John
The kids at St. John the Divine are getting really mobile. They’re moving about and can climb around the nest now. They’re so damn cute!

The Riverside Park eyasses are now big enough and mobile enough to
watch without waiting too long. You no longer have to wait two hours for a brief glimpse. The eyasses at a really, cute stage. Still
fluffy and white, but very active. If you haven’t been down to see
them, do it before they grow up!
On Saturday, we finally got to see the eyasses at St. John the Divine and there are three. It still takes some patience to see them, but they’re adorable. It’s good to see this nest site back to normal after the roof construction.
The video shows all three the best.
The eyasses continue to grow and now are popping up their heads rather regularly. It makes watching them a lot easier. This weekend should be a great time to visit the nest with warm weather and milder winds.
I got a glimpse of all three eyasses today. Two were in view and one head popped over to grab a bite to eat. So, we have a family of five now.
The mother was very protective of all three eyasses on a cool windy evening. She made sure they all stayed put as the nest swung from side to side.
2010 should be a fun hawk watching season, with Riverside and St. John’s in full swing in Manhattan.
Watching the St. John the Divine nest can be frustrating this time of year. We know the eyasses have hatched but they are too small to see.
While the feedings are the true sign the kids are there, I always know because the mother never white washes St. Andrew but the kids do!
