Mind the flash, please



EVG reader olympiasepiriot spotted this red-tailed hawk lounging around a fire escape this evening on East Ninth Street… the hawks usually reserve the photo opps for Tompkins Square Park…

Bedded down for the night, I think.

He probably didn't appreciate that, but such is being a NY celebrity.

This morning, I learned something about hawks -- or, at least, this hawk. When waking, it likes to stand, stretch itself out with wings and tail back, head forward, really long and take a breath and then have a HUGE projectile shit and then shake its head and settle back down to scan the adjacent tree for breakfast.

I've always wondered where the hawks go at night. Lucky you!
