High on the West Side

The ligher colored of the two 5th Avenue fledglings was on top of the Beresford Apartments in the late afternoon before flying off towards the American Museum of Natural History in the early evening.  Its mother was on the AMNH and the youngster was briefly was on an apartment building on 77th Street, before trading places with Mom.

The mother went south on Central Park South before returning to the park.  About 45 minutes later, just before dark the fledgling also returned to the park.
