Fledge Date Guesses for Manhattan

If you’ve been looking at the Queen’s Hawkcam, you’ll notice that the young are close to fledging.  General wisdom is that it take between 42 and 46 days for a hawk to fledge.  I’ve tried to take a guess at what I think the Manhattan hatch dates were and calculated the approximate fledge dates.  Of course, the normal “Your mileage may vary” disclaimer applies here.

One thing I’m sure of however, is that I need to spend this Memorial Day weekend visiting Highbridge and Inwood Hill Park before it’s too late!
