Tompkins Square Park after years of hosting juvenile hawks, finally looks to have its own pair of adults who have built a nice nest on top of an air conditioning unit at 9th Street and Avenue B.  I had gone to visit last weekend but didn’t take any photographs as the hawks were inactive. 

Today, I found two very active hawks.  They copulated three times and flew around the park multiple times.  The nest reminds me of the nest we had a number of years ago on Houston and Avenue D.

This pair is very, very easy to watch.  This should be a fun year for the residents who live near the park.

I’ve begun using a Blackmagic Production Camera, which shoots in Ultra HD (four times the resolution of HD.)  If you watch this video in full screen mode, you should have a great viewing viewing experience.
