The Spa

The remaining fledgling continues to do fine at Riverside Park.  Today the fledgling was back in the area south of the playground.  Hunting for rodents along the Drive wall, avoiding Mockingbirds, amusing children in the playground continue to be standard afternoon activities.

Today, I saw the fledgling cool off in the water by the rocks east of the playground.  (Lincoln Karim arranged for this area to be cleaned of trash, so it would be safe for the fledglings.)  The large rock outcroppings common in Manhattan parks, collect water making them perfect spas for Red-tails.
