ICYMI: In Tompkins Square Park, Amelia and her new mate welcome first brood together

ICYMI: Amelia, the resident female red-tailed hawk in Tomkins Square Park, and her new male friend have three chicks in their nest this spring. 

Mark Hado shared these photos this past week...
Given how quickly the hawklets grow on that steady diet of pigeons and rats, they are likely 2x this size by now. 

As Goggla has documented, all three of the hawklets appear to be doing well. This is the first family for the new male this year (going as M2, per Goggla). This marks Amelia's eighth season raising chicks in Tompkins. 

Visit Goggla's site for a primer on M2 (link) ... and the latest on the kids. 

We'll be on fledge watch in the next few weeks.
