I went down to Battery Park to see if I could find the banded hawk NJ30, which had been seen and photographed by other hawk watchers earlier in the month.

I didn’t find anything at first but after about half an hour, I saw a number of pigeons and gulls fly. It was a hawk alright, but not the Red-tailed Hawk NJ30.  Instead it was a Cooper’s Hawk by the Coast Guard building.

Manhattan’s reliable female Wild Turkey was also in her usual spot.  (She’s not so wild anymore. I think she’s being feed regularly.)
