Fledgling update

As of this evening, there is still one hawk left in the nest at the Christodora.  I'm wondering if it's happy to have the place to itself - room to stretch out, no sharing food, peace and quiet...

There was some concern last night over the second fledgling as it seemingly disappeared atop CHARAS on 9th Street.  However, neighbor Jessica sent in this photo of the young hawk dozing on her air-conditioner nearby.



And early this morning, wide-awake...





Late this afternoon, I found Shaft in a tree in the park.

Meanwhile, the fledgling from the air-conditioner took a stab at exploring the trees near the nest.

But, ended up frolicking atop the familiar CHARAS.

Two down, one to go!
