Saturday Hawks

By D. Bruce Yolton927 5th Avenue Red-tailed Hawks, Southern Central Park Red-tailed Hawks

On Saturday, I started out at the bottom of the park.

Junior was on the CNN sign and then…
…moved north.  He must have a perch around 65th and Central Park West, but I can’t figure out where.
Heading north, Pale Male was on a streetlight above the east drive, around Cleopatra’s Needle.  He quickly took off after a Cooper’s Hawk.
When we caught up to him, he had prey.  Did he snatch if from the Cooper’s Hawk?  It all happened quickly and just out of view.
After calling for Lola, who didn’t arrive to share the leftovers, Pale Male landed on a 5th Avenue window.
After about fifteen minutes, he landed in a tree that would be his roost for the night.
Good night Pale Male.
