Hawk Cam Update


As many people know Bobst Library has a pair of red-tailed hawks nesting on a 12th floor window ledge. I have been checking their web page (http://www.nyu.edu/sustainability/hawks/) for a look at the hatchlings since Kimberly told us about them. To date, I have only seen one hawk sitting on the nest barely moving.

Until tonight. Tonight I got to see a changing of the guard.

In seconds another hawk (Bobby or Violet I have no idea which) landed on the ledge, nudged the sitting hawk to move, took a moment to move the eggs around, and settled down to take its turn sitting.

All quite exciting.
