Bobby, the male Washington Square Red-tailed Hawk was hard to find for most of the evening.  He appeared briefly on the nest around 5:00 but then wasn’t seen until he returned to his favorite perch on the cross of Judson Memorial Church around sunset. He then made a brief stop on a Bobst Library ledge (one east of the nest), and then went off to roost in the NW corner of the park.

The New York Times City Room Blog posted a link to my site. I thought it would be helpful for the webcam viewers to have a chart of locations Bobby has been seen off the nest.  There’s a lot more than the 3 foot by 3 foot view the webcam shows!

1) Nest location on Bobst Library
2) Cross on Judson Memorial Church
3) Favorite Flag Pole
