It's been great seeing all three Red-Tailed Hawk fledglings continue to hang out together and play in Tompkins Square. Despite growing more independent, they do seem to enjoy each other's company.
Got your tail!
The fenced-in garden areas provide the perfect playpens for the hawks, and the resident squirrels continue to taunt them.
This hawk not only missed the squirrel...
...it almost fell over the tree.
The young hawks may still be a bit clumsy, but they are capable of catching their own food. This one nabbed a pigeon, then dragged it to a quiet area to eat.
I love seeing the hawks prowl around in the vegetation. It's not really something you expect to see in a city park.
Meanwhile, all three fledglings continue to explore the world and practice their hawk skills within the park.
This one was fresh out of a bath in a puddle when it decided to dry off on a fence.
However, this Blue Jay was not having it and relentlessly mobbed the hawk until it took refuge within a bush. So rude!
Stay tuned for more Tompkins hawk updates...
