They start eating rats and grow so fast!
Amelia and Christo have three bouncing hawklets in the nest this season in Tompkins Square Park. (They are roughly 1 month old now.)
As always, Goggla has been documenting the activities of our resident red-tailed hawks... she shared these photos of the chicks, now more visible above the lip of the nest ...
So far, all three chicks look good and are getting bigger, she reports.
Here are a few more photos of the nest via Steven ...
Meanwhile, Goggla spotted Christo in action... this is from Tuesday night, as he snatched four rats in a row, and brought them to the nest...
And a good question: "So, I guess four rats can feed a family of five?"
One more piece of trivia: When was the last time Tompkins Square Park saw three hawk chicks? 2016!

"You and your brother will have to share a rat. Now pipe down and eat your dinner."
Great photos!
Nice to see some good news in all this strange. The photos are great. Thanks.
WONDERFUL PHOTOS! Thank you so much for sharing!
I wouldn't want to see a hawk closing in on me as seen in those last 2 photos - that's a hawk on a mission!
All this anti rat bias on this blog!
Those birds can't just go for one of the many neighborhood shihtzus?
Wow, look at those claws on that bird!
One thing about Tompkins Square park is that their are plenty of rats there for the hawks to feed on. Bon Apatite.
Where do all the grownup babies go? Prime hunting territory must be fairly limited, and there’s competition from the NYU hawk family.
Great photographs, Thanks!
So loving this story. Great fotos !!
Gracias !!
