3 tiny hawklets, 1 busy nest in Tompkins Square Park

Photos by Mark Hado

Amelia and Charlie, the resident red-tailed hawks of Tompkins Square Park, welcomed three bouncy baby fuzzballs to the nest this late last month, Per Goggla. 

Here's a look from last week (it's tough to get all three in a shot)...
As in past summers, the hawklets won’t stay tiny for long — by mid-June, they’ll be awkwardly oversized teenagers testing out their wings, hunting skills and camera-ready poses. 

Visit Goggla's site for more on our local hawks ... and other NYC bird sightings.

    Fabulous! It would be nice if New York would outlaw rat poison so the little bit of nature we have can thrive to an even higher level

    Funny coming from the exterminator... but you are right! Instead of killing rats, just kill their fertility.
