This fledgling caught the mouse in the picnic area of Tompkins Square, then gobbled it in just a couple of minutes. Immediately afterwards, dad Christo caught a mongo rat and gave it to the young bird, who ate that as well. This hawk must have eaten its weight in rodent. I bet it's sleeping well tonight...
Kudos, baby hawk! There's plenty more where that came from.
