Bed Time

The Red-tails of Tompkins Square Park have been building a nest this past week in a tree.  For a pair that’s had two air conditioner nests, it’s been a surprise.  I didn’t get to see any nest building tonight, but did see the female work her way around the park and go to roost.  She took 50 minutes from when she went to roost to shutting her eyes.  This was much longer than I expected.
