Tompkins Square Park hawklet watch continues

The Tompkins Square Park hawk chicks continue to GROOOW. 

Mark Hado shared these photos this week, with the top taken via an iPhone through 16 power binoculars. 

As hawk documentarian Goggla noted in her last post, the offspring "suddenly go from little fuzz balls to serious-looking raptors." 

See below! 
This is the first brood for Amelia, the resident female red-tailed hawk in Tomkins Square Park, and her new male companion, aka M2. (This marks Amelia's eighth season raising chicks in Tompkins. )

Meanwhile, the fledge watch continues. As always, check out Goggla's site for updates.

    Not sure if this means much but twice in this calendar year we've woken up to a beheaded pigeon up on the roof. We'd like to assume this is the work of a hawk with a still developing grip rather than some sort of a cult we didn't realize our neighbors had joined. Anyone? Best, jg

    A female hawk should be named Maya. A male one, Ethan.
