Amelia and Christo's 2020 red-tailed offspring: Look at the babies!
They start eating rats and grow so fast!
Amelia and Christo have three bouncing hawklets in the nest this season in Tompkins Square Park. (They are roughly 1 month old now.)
As always, Goggla has been documenting the activities of our resident red-tailed hawks... she shared these photos of the chicks, now more visible above the lip of the nest ...
So far, all three chicks look good and are getting bigger, she reports.
Here are a few more photos of the nest via Steven ...
Meanwhile, Goggla spotted Christo in action... this is from Tuesday night, as he snatched four rats in a row, and brought them to the nest...
And a good question: "So, I guess four rats can feed a family of five?"
One more piece of trivia: When was the last time Tompkins Square Park saw three hawk chicks? 2016!
Steven Hirsch's CoronaLand
["First Responders" 8" x 6" Pencil On Paper]
East Village resident Steven Hirsch is well-known for his courthouse photography as well as documentary work.
During the COVID-19 PAUSE, Hirsch turned his attention to a new medium: drawing.
"I started doing them when the virus started. It seemed like a time to start doing something different considering the world flipped upside down in a week," he told me. "The virus seemed like the only thing that made sense to draw since my work is autobiographical. I try to draw one a day."
He shared a selection of his work... you can find more here.

Neal H. spotted this beauty on 11th Street today... it looks pretty fresh. Perhaps this is on the way in rather than the way out?
Grant Shaffer's NY See
Here's the latest NY See panel, East Village-based illustrator Grant Shaffer's observational sketch diary of things that he sees and hears around the neighborhood.
Grant tells me that this week's frame is from early March, when he overheard a couple talking about COVID-19. "It really caught my attention, as I hadn't heard of anyone personally at that point talking about someone who had the virus. I decided to change the name — just thought it was better to..."
