Central Park Hawks After The Snow
On Sunday, I spent the late afternoon looking for Long-eared Owls without success. But I did run into a few hawks.
On the Beresford Apartments, was Pale Male in the oval window, and Lola soaking up the sun on a south facing ledge.
This young hawk was in the Ramble making its way between the official and the not so official bird feeders looking for customers to eat.
This Sharp-shinned Hawk, with prey in talons, was being chased by a Red-tailed Hawk near 69th Street and the West Drive. The Sharp-shinned Hawk evaded the Red-tail and got away with its prey. Everything happened too fast for me to capture the action, but it reminded me that winter is the time to see lots of raptors in New York City.
