After searching around 86th and West End Avenue for the Peregrine Falcon fledglings, I decided to go over to Riverside Drive, where the parents often are seen during the winter.

After watching butterflies and stomping on a Spotted Lanternfly nymph, I found one of the fledglings in a tree at 88th and Riverside, just inside the park. It was the first time I’ve seen any member of the family in a tree and not on a building!

I then heard an American Robin alarm call from near the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. At first I couldn’t find any fledglings, but eventually found two on the western side, and one on the eastern side.

There were some high flights in addition to the much lower perches of the fledglings. I couldn’t tell if it was the parents or the fledglings. I did find one fledgling on a building roof at 89th and Riverside and I found two fledglings later in the afternoon on the Normandy Apartments.
