Except for the fledgling begging for food, it was a quiet day in Washington Square. The fledgling moved back and forth across building on Waverly Street. Just as I got there mid-afternoon, it was on the Silver Building and flew to 1 Fifth Avenue, about a block away. It was a nice strong flight.
In the first week, we see the fledglings play king of the mountain on the buildings trying to get to a the high point. This might be what’s happening here. The parents were aware of the fledgling but didn’t feed it from what I could see. They might be trying to lure it back to the park.
The eyasses still on the nest were being attended to by the parents, and when I went to look at them around 6 p.m. Rosie was just delivering a small rodent.
It was a good day to relax. We might have some excitement on Sunday.
