Despite lots of looking by the hawk watchers of Tompkins Square Park, we’ve only seen one eyass who is now fairly big.  Although I’d be happy to be wrong, it looks like we have an only child.

The number of eyasses on the Tompkins Square Park nest continues to be difficult to determine.  One for sure but most likely more.

While it has clearly hatched, the nest is very hard to “spy on”.  My visit on Thursday continued to confirm feedings but I was unable to see any eyasses.  Hopefully, they’ll be big enough to see in a few days.

Although we can’t see or count the eyasses at Tompkins Square Park yet, due to feeding behavior by Dora, we know the nest has hatched.  Dora didn’t leave the nest while I was there, but Christo was all around the park.  I can’t wait to see the eyasses in a week or two.

I spend a cloudy evening looking to see if the Tompkins Square Park had hatched.  This early on you look for behavioral queues from the parents, since an eyass will be too small to see at this point.  I didn’t see any of the behavior I was hoping for.  This doesn’t mean the nest hasn’t hatched.  It just means that while I was there, I didn’t see any positive signs.
