Astoria Park – RFK Bridge Nest

I spend early Sunday afternoon and late Monday evening looking for the eyasses (chicks) at the Astoria Park – RFK Bridge (formerly Triborough Bridge) nest without success.  It’s clear by the parents behavior, that they’re no longer sitting on eggs, but have hatchlings, but I didn’t see them.  I must have missed the feeding each time I went, and if the eyasses are sleeping, they would be too low to see them.

In any event, I do have some nice pictures of the nest and the parents.
