It was a gray day to be in the park.  Very light rain on and off.

My afternoon started of nicely with the spotting of a Brown Creeper.  A nice little bird that I usually see in the winter in Central Park.  It was nice to add it to my Washington Square bird list.

Rosie was active mid-afternoon.  She was hunting pigeons and squirrels but it was hard to tell if she was just getting exercise or was really hungry.  She did lots of low hunting runs on the newly fenced off lawns which have just been reseeded.  It wasn’t the patient hunting that is successful for Red-tailed Hawks, but youthful “go after anything that moves” type of hunting you see with juvenile birds.

After an exchange it was Bobby’s turn to be active.  He caught a pigeon a top an NYU building south of the church cross.

Watching a brooding hawk can be like watching paint dry.  This evening was as dull as can be. 

I just missed a visit by Bobby and watched his fly out of view as I arrived, and got to watch an hour and a half Rosie sitting on the nest.

There wasn’t much hawk action this evening.  Bobby was in the park briefly.

The major action took place on the other side of the window from the nest.  Representatives from The New York Times technical team and Livestream adjusted the camera. 

The night image is now fantastic.  Hopefully the day image will be equally good.  Well see how it is in the morning!

(Corrected 3/31/12.   I had originally reported that staff from Kintronics, Inc and Livestream adjusted the camera.  While Kinronics, Inc. gave advise remotely, the actual work was done by The New York Times technical team and Livestream staff.  Apologies to the Times employees, I originally left out.)

It was a relaxed afternoon in Washington Square.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened, which is how it should be!

Nothing special on Friday afternoon.  Just Bobby perching on various buildings around the park and two nest visits.

Rosie took her time while off the nest this evening.  I could not find her for the longest time, but then she eat leftovers on the Washington Square Arch and then the corner of an apartment building Bobby likes to catch pigeons on.

She returned to the nest and Bobby perched an a few buildings on the east side of the park before I needed to leave.
