I was at work with the eyass fledged just before noon, but reports are she had a wonderful long flight to another N.Y.U. building. 

I ended up seeing her later in the day.  She’s ended up in a safe place, and I would suspect she will take her time getting to the park.

Her exact location was posted in some blog posts, and I would recommend that individuals and the media be a little vague in reporting her location from now one.  Now that she’s in public places, she is at risk from people who might accidentally harass her or worse.

At other New York City nests, many hawks watchers privately share fledgling locations with people they know and are careful not to post specifics in public forums, chat rooms, blogs or websites.  It’s a good practice and one I hope will be followed in Washington Square.
