As previously noted, the Tompkins Square red-tailed hawks hatched three chicks in April. The whole family appears to be doing well, and there are a lot of people keeping an eye on them to look after their well-being. The chicks are about a month old now and are just starting to grow feathers on their wings and tails.
Below are some photos from the last couple of weeks. All of these were taken with a telephoto lens from a long distance, and have been heavily cropped.
This is Mom Amelia with one of the chicks as the other two sleep.
Dad arrives on the branch at the upper left.
