Flushing Meadows

By D. Bruce YoltonOther Red-tailed Hawks

On Sunday afternoon, I went to the Unisphere.  Only one eyas was on the nest.  I saw both parents, but none of the fledglings. 

One of the parents on top of the globe.
The single remaining eyas on the nest.
The parents can watch the sorrounding area and the nest at the same time from this high spot.  I also saw for the first time the mother fly to the nest from the top of the globe through the hollow center of the sphere rather than around it.
I saw both parents circle the area between the globe and the NY Pavilion.
