The morning Red-tailed Hawk. Another American Crow came to greet this youngster. This is the third winter in a row that a young Red-tail has been around Sunset Park.
This is how December 16th began. Not well-photographed through window and two different trees, but there’s the young RT again at 8:37 a.m.
9:50. Peregrine on Mike’s Spike. Spotted the bird from the Raptor Observatory two avenue blocks away. I hustled down to within half a block before the bird flew.
10:18 A big, presumably female, Coopers Hawk perched in Green-Wood’s 4th Avenue extension.
10:23 Another adult Accipiter. Came out of a thick clump of yew and sped off before I could even focus. This one seemed smaller than the previous.
10:42 No Merlin on the usual spot above the Steinway Mausoleum, but not so far away from there…
