I went to Washington Square Park this evening not expecting to see much, but ended up with a wonderful show. A juvenile Red-tailed hawk was being chased by an adult hawk in the park. Eventually, the adult left leaving the youngster to catch two small rodents and chase squirrels.
I have no idea who the youngster was. Was it this year’s fledgling returning to the park or a migrant on its way through New York City? Who knows?
