Washington Square Park

It was above freezing and sunny out, so the part was full of people today.  Although I missed photographing the events, I did see the hawks copulate twice.  For me, it takes seeing the copulation to feel like a new couple has mated, so this was great. 

I followed a hawk out to Sixth Avenue, and off in the distance at the old St. Vincent’s Hospital site was a hawk on a crane.  I couldn’t figure out if it was a WSP hawk, or a hawk from another pair.  When the Couch’s Kingbird was around I kept seeing a pair of hawks.  I wonder if we have a new pair trying to establish themselves in the northwest of the Village?
