The fledglings in Tompkins Square Park are still being feed by their father.  This evening one of them got a pigeon.  The fledglings have begun to explore beyond the park as well, with the abandoned school on 9th Street becoming a common destination.

Tompkins Square Park continues to be lots of fun with fledglings enjoying the park and the fenced in lawns.  Friday afternoon had two enjoying the east side of the park.

We found two of the youngsters and their father in the park this evening.  One was playing on the roof of the Men’s room, playing hide and seek with a squirrel and then taking a bath.  The other was in a nearby tree and their father was hunting near a dumpster.

After a vacation, I had a chance to hawk watch in Tompkins Square Park this evening.  All three fledglings ended up in the same tree with both parents close by and one fledgling even tried to catch a squirrel.  Lots of action which was lots of fun.

Not much happened at Tompkins Square Park in the early evening.  The young hawks were back on the nest and the parents were enjoying the wind.

At Tompkins Square Park, at least two hawks have fledged, but they were all back on the nest Sunday afternoon.  Dora, the adult female had brought food, so they all ended up on the nest.  We’ve see this at other nests, where the nest becomes a feeding station, but it is unusual.  It will be interesting to see how things progress over the next few days.
