Tompkins Square hawks getting ready for nesting season

It's March, which means spring is almost here and another hawk nesting season begins. Tompkins Square red-tailed hawks, Charlie and Amelia, have been busy preparing for another brood. Below are some recent pics.

Charlie flies in from the left to help Amelia arrange sticks in their nest. When spring kicks in and the tree gets leaves, their nest will be nearly invisible.

Charlie joins Amelia in the nest.
