Quick Tompkins Square hawk status update

It's been a while since I've posted a Tompkins Square hawk update, but there's not been much activity to note. It's a mostly quiet time of year leading up to nesting season which usually starts in January. Below are a few photos of resident hawks, Christo and Amelia, taken at various times.

If you're waiting for the traffic light outside Key Food on Avenue A, be sure to look up at the church as the hawks may be gazing down at you.
