Finally, A St. John’s Red-tail Sighting

I had almost given up hope of finding one of the fledglings again, when I got a call from James O’Brien on Saturday afternoon saying that one of the fledglings was at 115th and Morningside Drive in a tree just inside the park.  James had seen the fledgling catch and eat two rodents.

When I arrived things had quieted down, but the fledgling did move about from tree to tree every so often.  I saw the fledgling go after a squirrel and a pigeon without success before loosing the fledgling as it flew east past Fredrick Douglas Boulevard around 112th Street.

Thanks to James for the phone call!
