Raptor Wednesday

Another Brooklyn Bald Eagle sighting. The squawking of Canada Geese made me look as the eagle cruised over the Sylvan Water.
A Northern Mockingbird was smacking into the raptor’s back. More recently, I saw a raptor in the distance chased by two small black birds, which turned out to be Fish Crows, identified by their calls. Scale! Eagle again, maybe-probably the same one?
I have the same coloring on my head.
Two Red-tailed nestlings near fledging. Way up in a pine in Green-Wood, a nest of several years standing (and annual repair…).
