The new female in Washington Square, whose nickname is Rosie, was very active this afternoon, while Bobby mostly watched from a London Plane tree.  Rosie is like so many young Red-tails.  She flies around going after anything she sees in the park before she settles down and makes a good kill.

Bobby, being older, has already learned to relax and take his time while hunting.  He caught a rodent, just after sunset, with only a patient ten minute wait on a branch.

Besides both of them hunting this afternoon.  Rosie brought a branch to the nest and Bobby joined her, but was harassed and nearly hit by a Peregrine Falcon.  (For those who are worried about the Peregrines, we saw this behavior for years at St. John the Divine.  Although it was a hassle for the Red-tails, nothing every happened to them.)
