The first hawk has fledged!

It was spotted flying straight over Avenue A at about 10:10am EST. Christo is keering non-stop. More info to come as we try to locate it.

Coolest Hawk Chalk ever

Exit9, a local gift emporium on Avenue A (also under the nest) has hawk mania too! Check out this gorgeous chalk drawing at the entrance to their store:

At 6:03pm EST, a young hawk literally climbs the walls…err…screen…as Mom looks on. #fledgewatch in full effect

As of 11:57pm EST, all three young hawks are in the nest.  Mom is shading them from the hot sun.

Avenue A is alive with Hawk-mania

Downtown yarns, just under the nest, has created an amazing Red-tailed-hawk-themed window display!  Let’s start with the cutest eyasses ever…

As you can see, the display includes three adorable needle-felted eyasses (made by Leti), an authentic nest with some of the hawks’ favorite foods (made by Rita), a soaring Red-tail (made by Irina), and a little clutch of eggs (made by Cathy).  Come on down to check it out in person, if you can.  The photos don’t do it justice!

Both downtown yarns and neighbor Exit9 are on #fledgewatch and ready to lend a hand if there are any flight mishaps!  Many thanks to these great stores for their love of wildlife and fantastic window displays.

The hawks track their parents flying above and one of them keers like an adult for the first time!
