Picking up from
last night's post… the first of
the young hawks living on an AC unit at the Christodora House on Avenue B and East Ninth Street took flight yesterday morning.
According to Goggla, who has been documenting the parents, Christo and Dora, and their three offspring, the hawk fledged at 10:49 a.m. He glided across East Ninth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C … and that's when he went missing.
A search commenced. Around 6 p.m., a group of residents, including Walt Fitzpatrick, Karen Martinez, Cliff Maloney, Father Pat Maloney, as well as bird watchers Dennis Edge and
Francois Portmann, eventually found the fledgling … and someone called Rob Mastrianni, an urban park ranger (
he recently rescued a fledgling in Washington Square Park), who arrived to lead the rescue efforts…
Ranger Rob deemed that the fledgling was uninjured … and placed him in a tree in Tompkins Square Park.
As Goggla noted, we hope that "the remaining two siblings watched and learned something today." Goggla has more about the rescue and a lot more photos
here.
