Rock Pigeon For Dinner

Today we watched a fledgling do at least fifteen hunting runs before finally catching a Rock Pigeon in Tompkins Square Park. It was exciting to watch and may have been one of the fledglings first kills.

The hawk’s sibling hunted a different way.  It stole the pigeon leftovers from its sibling!
