The eyasses fledged over a week ago at Tompkins Square Park. I finally had time to go down and see them. Much to my surprise on was still hanging out on the nest and the other two were relaxing in a tree just to the northwest of the nest tree.
When I arrived both parents were on the church on 3rd Street.
The park was very enjoyable today. It was quiet and when I got there the whole family was on the nest. There wasn’t much activity on the nest but I got to see good looks at everyone.
I spent an hour at the TSP nest from 4 to 5 pm on Wednesday and was lucky enough to see the mother feed the three eyasses. They all look great.
The three eyasses at Tompkins Square Park got feed while I watched in the late afternoon. It’s a wonderful nest location and can be watched from a set of benches in the Southeast corner of the park.
The Tompkins Square Park nest is back in the Ginkgo Tree they had used a few years ago. The three eyasses look great. The adult female came in and fed them while I was there, and the male was on the Christodora House being dive bombed by two American Kestrels.
After a visit to Governors Island, where it doesn’t look like the pair nested this year, I got to see the three eyasses of the Tompkins Square Park nest. During a feeding one was on the left and two on the right. One was hidden most of the time, but at the right moment, you could see three distinct heads.
