Oh hi.
The hawk appeared to be OK... just a little unsure how to get back out.
With the assistance of her friend (and EVG correspondent) Steven, Kim contacted Ranger Rob — aka Rob Mastrianni, a Manhattan Ranger supervisor.
Rob quickly captured (not his first airshaft rescue!) the young hawk, one of Amelia and Christo's 2023 offspring.
After examining the hawk and determining that it was not injured, Rob released the fledgling back into the park... where it likely met up with his two siblings.
And a little later... (photo by Steven)...

And, as always, thank you Ranger Rob!
Nice work, everybody!
Ahhh, thanks for a heartwarming story, we all need one lately!
That is awesome! Ranger Rob rules !!
This was such a lovely story! Thank you to Kim and Ranger Rob and you for sharing.
Liked how it just stared into the apartment appearing AOK and just waiting for rescue!
great story! and that is one chill hawk.
Thank you Ranger Rob and the hawk watchers of Tompkins Square
Yes, Rob!
And what a shot from the kitchen! <()
Had two visits a couple of years back in a similar building shaft on Eldridge, first time the hawk somehow dangled upside down from a wire and I was worried it was stuck but it was fine, second time they just sat imperiously on the A/C for a while before departing. Impressive and a little intimidating up close.
Great still life of an EV apartment. AC used as a shelf, old Sony radio, things hanging everywhere...
The hawk selfie is too cute.
Great story Kim, great photos, great rescue! Thanks Ranger Rob! And Steven for the lastest photo, the Hawk watchers. And Thanks EV Grieve! Only in New York, haa yes!

Birds of Prey know they’re Cool.😎
Ranger Rob also came to the rescue a few years ago to rescue one of the young hawks trapped in our airshaft on 9th Street. Thank you Rob and everyone involved!
Say cheese!
