Yet another day with only the mother being seen at fly out. Birds have very high mortality rates. As each day passes, we realize we must consider that it is more than likely that the father has passed away and that the mother was unable to raise her chicks on her own.
The Fifth Avenue hawks are now sitting on their nest.
Daffodils are blooming and other signs of Spring are all around the park. The diversity of birds being reported has increased greatly in the last ten days.
The 5th Avenue hawk watchers found this Brown-headed Cowbird behind their bench at the model boat pond on Saturday.
The nest has eggs. How many? Still a mystery.
6:26 fly out, behavior almost identical to Thursday.
Tonight follows the pattern of the last few nights. Only the female being seen, late fly out, and lots of calling and movement high up in the trees.
