Rosie, Bobby, Rosie, Bobby

It was a fun evening tonight.  Rosie was off the nest when I arrived and was hunting in the park.  She returned to the nest empty.  Bobby went off to a flagpole, and then disappeared.  He then arrived on the SE corner of Washington Square Arch with a pigeon.

Soon afterwards, Rosie left the nest and took the pigeon from Bobby.  He tended to the nest while Rosie ate.  When Rosie was done, she returned to the nest and Bobby ate the leftovers.

Bobby then went to roost in a tree in the park.

Gray Evening

It was cold and gray in Washington Square tonight.  Bobby made a brief visit to the nest.  About thirty minutes later Rosie went to the cross to slice.  Bobby then flew into the nest to sit on the eggs.  Rosie than took an extended break and stayed off until it was pitch black, around 7:35.

When you think you know how everything should work, they throw you a curve!

Tuesday Evening

It was fairly quiet in Washington Square when I arrived.  I should say, a calm hawk watching evening.  The park was full of people and musicians.

Bobby didn’t visit the nest while I was in the park, but perched at far away both to the east and west.  He did get hassled by a falcon for a few minutes while perched near Broadway.

Viewers of the New York Times City Room Hawk Webcam, have confirmed there are two eggs in the nest.
