On the fence
A unique feature of Tompkins Square is its fences. They make perfect perches for the young hawks as they learn to pounce on prey on the ground. I found one fledgling practicing its balancing skills on a fence this last Sunday. It caught a rodent in the grass, but lost it, so it kept returning to the fence to practice its dash-n-grab moves.
