I got to Washington Square very late, as I has spent most of the afternoon on Fifth Avenue.  Bobby and Rosie were on the cross and then while Rosie did some hunting, Bobby visited the nest.  After dusk, Rosie caught a rat and eat it while a crowd of about fifty watched.

As night fell, Rosie went to the nest to roost. Female hawks start roosting on the nest for awhile, then spend a few days on the nest during the day, and then lay eggs.  The overnight roost on the nest is a very good sign that eggs will be arriving soon.
