Say hello
As Goggla reported last Tuesday, red-tailed hawks Amelia and Christo have two chicks in the nest this spring in Tompkins Square Park.
Steven spotted one of the chicks alert and peering out from the nest this afternoon... perhaps getting familiar with his/her future hunting grounds...

The red-tailed fledgling is having the most fun in Tompkins Square Park
The remaining red-tailed hawk fledgling continued to entertain Tompkins Square Parkgoers this past week... Steven shared these photos of Amelia and Christo's offspring at play the other day ... practicing his take offs and (crash) landings...
... and playing with a favorite toy — a piece of wood ...
... and Derek Berg caught the young hawk in flight...
Goggla has been documenting the fledgling here and here. She believes he hatched on or around June 1.
As she notes, "This fun time with the young hawk won't last long. As soon as he's able to fly and feed himself, he will venture off on his own to explore the world, so let's enjoy and admire him while we can."

Christo makes the case for a larger bird bath in Tompkins Square Park
Just a few red-tailed hawk photos from the last few days... first with Christo cooling off and wondering where the deep end is in a bird bath ... photos by EVG reader Cheyenne ...
...and here's Christo and Dora's summer of 2017 offspring, who has a variety of names (Fledgling #1, Ten, Manhattan, BioTen) photographed by Steven...
No word yet what the hawks have planned for July 4.

Flatbush puts on an early-evening show in Tompkins Square Park
The new red-tailed fledgling provided some early Friday evening entertainment in Tompkins Square Park.
On Wednesday, Ranger Rob (aka Rob Mastrianni, a Manhattan Ranger supervisor) released a juvenile red-tailed hawk into the Park that had been injured earlier in the month in Brooklyn.
Nicknamed Flatbush (he fell from a nest on Flatbush Avenue), the hawklet started practicing to fly... EVG hawk-watching correspondent Steven shared these photos...
He eventually made it as high as the fence...
... and a contemplative moment captured by EVG reader Alberto Means...
Eventually, Ranger Rob, an East Village resident, safely put Flatbush back into a tree for the night... (these two photos are by Bobby Williams)...
Ranger Rob also let Flatbush use the radio to prank some other rangers (JK!) ...
In a very encouraging sign, Steven spotted Christo, one of the adult red-tailed hawks in the Park, bringing the rescued hawklet some food (????) yesterday morning...

Ranger Rob brings a new red-tailed hawk to Tompkins Square Park
Apparently there will be more than one hawklet to watch this summer in Tompkins Square Park.
This afternoon, Ranger Rob (aka Rob Mastrianni, a Manhattan Ranger supervisor) released a juvenile red-tailed hawk into Tompkins Square Park. He was assisted by Wildlife in Need of Rescue and Rehabilitation.
Earlier this month, the hawklet was injured falling out of a nest on Flatbush Avenue. It was deemed too dangerous for the hawk to stay there.
Ranger Rob, an East Village resident, said that it's very likely that Christo and Dora, the adult red-tailed hawks of Tompkins Square Park, will adopt this one. (There isn't any shortage of food.)
The first three photos in this post are by Bobby Williams...
...and these photos via Steven show the hawklet adjusting to the new environment...
The hawk has also been tagged to help keep tabs on it...
Updated 10 p.m.
Goggla shares this photo of Ranger Rob with the juvenile hawk...
According to Ranger Rob, this hawk is a male... and given his Brooklyn roots, people watching this scene unfold started calling the hawk Flatbush...
Goggla has a lot of great pics here.

Baby on board
EVG contributor Steven shares these photos from this morning in Tompkins Square Park ... showing Christo and Dora's latest red-tailed offspring, roughly five weeks old and getting larger by the day...
...and still in the Benjamin Button phase...
As Goggla noted, this is Christo and Dora's only hawklette this time around... soon enough he/she will be ready to fledge...
