At least one of the fledglings is crossing the Henry Hudson Parkway on a regular basis now. It's a little scary to watch. Sometimes the crossings are a high flight, but on Friday one of the crossings was a hop up onto a guard rail of an off ramp and then a low flight across the highway.
The fledglings were very active in the afternoon. Chasing squirrels, playing with sticks and chasing each other. The boat basin was a hawk nursery school for the day.
While there were lots of people out on the extended holiday weekend, they generally did a good job of keeping their distance from the hawks. Thanks everyone!
The fledgling is in the light circle, having flown across the highway.
Just after this picture was taken, the bird jumped up on the guard rail and flew across the highway.
