Raptor Wednesday

Two blocks out the door, I see three American Crows chasing a young Red-tailed Hawk. A couple more crows join in, but the hawk, probably the youngster frequently seen around Sunset Park this season, flies out of sight.

Twenty minutes later inside Green-Wood, I see a pair of RTs circling each other.

Twenty-five minutes after that, what is perhaps one of the two seen earlier passes overhead.

(Blog written on a morning where a young Red-tail on the large antenna an avenue block away was the first thing I saw upon opening the curtains at 7:05. Bird was up there two more times by 9:30. Then, just before writing the last of this, the hawk was spotted on the nearer solar roof building.)
