Welcome to the neighborhood: Mockingbird dive-bombs fledgling on 8th Street

Young hawk flies the nest

One of Amelia and Christo’s two red-tailed hawk chicks in Tompkins Square Park fledged the nest yesterday afternoon (2:02 p.m., per a hawk watcher on the scene)... Steven caught up with the fledgling at St Brigid's on Eighth Street and Avenue B late in the afternoon...







The fledging ended up flying across Eighth Street and perching on a fire escape... where Steven spotted her/him this morning.
