Post Graduate

The second fledgling of the Washington Square Park nest was returned to the park yesterday afternoon after its adventure in a NYU classroom and rehab.  I found it this evening on University Place. 

It started out on the window ledges of 19 University Place, wrapping around the building from University Place to Eight Street.  It then flew to eastern wing of The Brevoort.  It tried to land on a ninth floor windows ledge, but misjuded the width of the ledge.  It tried to readjust but floated down to a second floor terrace. 

After about five minutes it jumped up to the railing of the terrace.  Eventually, it flew back down University Place and landed on scaffolding in front of the Weinstein Residence Hall.  After about ten minutes, it went into a Gingko tree, where I suspect it roosted for the night.
