Today in red-tailed hawks eating a rat on a fire escape

EVG regular William Klayer caught the action on East 12th Street just east of First Avenue… Oh, that stare!

Today's hawks

There's some concern that this hawk has a broken or cracked beak… hard to say...

And Goggla shared these with us… "This hawk was clearing the Avenue A playground of rats and mice today as the children played in the background. I lost track of how many it caught, but it downed a mouse in one gulp."

Oh, good morning!

EVG reader Ingrid shares these photos from yesterday morning... when a red-tailed hawk visited her fire escape on East Seventh Street and Avenue A.

"[The hawk] tormented my cats for about 3-5 minutes before flying away."

Dogs? What fucking dogs?

Today's hawk in Tompkins Square Park. Not impressed by dogs in costumes.

Turned out to be a nice afternoon to be in Tompkins Square Park (unless you were this rat)

Cleared up nicely this afternoon... in time to bring people into the Park... to watch a hawk maul a rat...
