Internship at Time-Warner

By D. Bruce YoltonSouthern Central Park Red-tailed Hawks

I found the 888 fledgling flying west on 58th Street today, and then landing on the Time-Warner building in Columbus Circle.  Her flying skills have really improved.  This perch is about ten stories high.

A Mockingbird quickly arrived to harass the Red-tail.
The Mockingbird gave up after a few minutes.
After about 45 minutes, the fledgling glided down to Columbus Circle with talons down, into the flower beds near the fountain. It came up empty and…
…flew up to a traffic light.
t stayed for about a minute and returned to the park, quickly making its way north for the night.
