Settled In On Fifth Avenue

Unlike the Washington Square Park pair, which love to show off in the early evening, on Fifth Avenue, it was very quiet tonight.

The new female sat on the nest and only got up to roll the eggs twice.  Pale Male didn’t visit the nest.  I guess the old man goes to bed early!

All kidding aside, this variation in behavior from nest to nest, and hawk to hawk is what makes hawk watching so much fun.  When you think you have Red-tailed Hawks figured out, you always find they is so much more to learn.  And what you already learned might not be true.
