One Still On Fifth Avenue Nest

When I arrived at the Fifth Avenue nest, four hawks were in view.  Two fledglings on roofs of buildings two blocks south of the nest, Pale Male two floors below on a railing, and an eyass on the nest (despite reports of a fledge on Tuesday.)

One of the fledglings explored various perches on a water tank.  One of the things a young hawk needs to practice is turning around on a branch or in this case a rod.  It was charming to watch the young hawk learn.

Just before a brief rain shower, Octavia made her way to the nest and plucked what may have been a pigeon carcass before leaving the remaining eyass alone on the nest.
