Where are they now? Baby Hawk Edition!


[One of the youngsters via Bobby Williams]

Well, baby hawk No. 3 finally left the nest on the Christodora House last Wednesday... which is why you don't see passersby staring up at the building anymore on Avenue B and East Ninth Street.

So where are the kids? (Fortunately, is has been fairly drama-free since Shaft left the nest.)

Goggla continues to keep track, and has a report over at Gog in NYC.

One observation:

They're getting accustomed to trees, having spent their entire lives on an air-conditioner. I find it interesting that all three birds fledged to the buildings across 9th Street and seemed to prefer roofttops to treetops.

She answers other pertinent questions too, such as, Where are their parents, Christo and Dora? Do the siblings get along? And are the squirrels in Tompkins Square Park playing nice?

Also, Francois Portmann has posted the last of the nest-cam photos here.
