Happy 1-month anniversary, red-tailed hawklets of Tompkins Square Park



Steven shares this photo today of red-tailed hawk Amelia feeding her two young ones in Tompkins Square Park.

It's not immediately clear what is on the menu — something to please tiny tummies, obviously. (Simple battered rat with apple sweet potato and cinnamon? Freshly mauled pigeon with fruit and yogurt peaches? The possibilities!)

As Goggla noted, the first hatch started or occurred on April 20. (It's possible hatching could have started earlier, per Googla, thus ruining our 1-month anniversary sentiments.)
