Soaked birds early this morning after the rain. More rain in the forecast for the next couple of days. #fledgewatch

Sweet dreams to you from a hawk’s nest in New York City.

Eyes on the sky as swifts fly by.

Siblings getting along. What a novel idea.

Hey pigeon, you might want to reconsider that hang-out spot. #choices

Mom, I’m gonna be flying soon. I can just feel it.

It may be summer but it’s all fall colors in this nest.

Nice stance, nice pants.

Sunrise over the AC.

1pm feeding.

At the feedings lately: one of the parents drops off food, lets the young hawks at it for a while, then Dora comes in to help parse out the rest.

These feedings usually include shrieks, tug-of-wars, and stealing. With their rapid rate of growth, it’s not surprising how ravenous the young hawks are.
