Tompkins hawk fledglings play around together

The Tompkins Square Red-Tailed Hawk trio is proving to be curious and energetic as they play together around the park.

When there are no dogs on the lawn, the young hawks like to run around and play with things like sticks, rocks, leaves, and random trash.

The other morning, two of the three siblings played with each other in the grass.

I love when they lay in the grass like chickens.

A bit later, two of the three perched together in a tree and scoped out the area.

This one spent the afternoon hidden in the Holiday Tree.

At the end of a long day, one of the kids laid down on a branch for a while. It's normal for them to lay down and even take a nap, especially in the hot weather.
