Watch Dora feed her baby a sparrow head (warning: a bit rough to watch if you like sparrows).

A sentence I never thought I’d write: This air conditioner (12 stories up) could use a baby bumper.
We’re gonna need a bigger nest…

2 weeks old and we got our first non-webcam peek of an eyass!

Webcam pic of East Village Red-tailed hawk (Dora) feeding her young ones!

Through snow & wind & sleet & heat,
you never once did sway.
We’re so lucky you’re our mom,
Happy Mother’s Day!
Dora does some nest carcass cleaning. So many rats coming and going.

Good night. And stop taking me for granted!
Today’s pants are brought to you by the secretary bird. These cropped pants are a must for staying cool and en vogue in the sub-Saharan savannah. These are not totally couture pants, think lululemon. Please don’t confuse these pants with Hawk pants or owl pants.
