The Washington Square nest has two hatched eyasses and an unhatched egg as of this morning. I was able to capture a few minutes of the NYU webcam video of a feeding.
The chat room as named them Kiku and Archie. Kiku after a member of the chat room who passed away, and Archie for the Washington Square Arch.
The third egg hatched at 12:45 p.m. EDT on Monday, April 15th. It has been named Judson.

The second egg hatched on the Washington Square nest today. While the web camera watchers got a show, there wasn’t much to see from the ground in the afternoon. Bobby visited the nest and there were two feedings.
Rosie and Bobby in Washington Square are close to their hatch date, so I decided to make a trip and see how things are doing. It was quiet at first. Then Bobby appeared on top of 2 Fifth. A nest exchange took place and Rosie did some high flying. She settled down on the west side of the park, before dropping down to some low tree branches to look for rodents.
Eventually, see went to the north side of the park where it looks like she caught a pigeon. (It was out of view, so there is a possibility she just picked up a pigeon Bobby cached for her.) She eat a good deal of it, then flew of towards the nest. Even before she got back to the eggs, Bobby had left the nest to eat the leftovers!

While watching Bobby and Rosie this evening, I also got to watch the 2013 web cam get installed for the Washington Square nest. I also received news that there are three eggs in the nest. Good news all around.
