When I arrived this afternoon, all three youngsters of the 86th and West End Avenue nest were on the eastern face of the church tower. Their mother was above the Citibank branch at 86th and Broadway, and the father was on 530 West End Avenue.

One fledgling left nest, and every so often one of the hawks on the tower would call for food, but other than that nothing much happened for a few hours.

Then one fledgling, and then a second appeared on top of 530 West End Avenue, with the adult male also making a visit. One fledgling made a few strong flights, possibly following a parent. Eventually, as I was packing up to go home, food was delivered to 530 West End Avenue. Then two birds flew down to the tower. It wasn’t clear, but it looked like two fledglings.
