No sign of the adult nesting pair of red-tailed hawks at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine today. Sightings of interest in Morningside Park were...
A mockingbird was noisily looking for companionship near the park's flagpole.
And the juvenile red-tail who's been hanging about recently was perched in a tree near Morningside Ave. and 114th St.
The juvie seemed to be quietly hunting, that is, lots of head bobbing and looking around but no actual attacking anything. It did have a "what's that?" look on his face briefly as it craned its head to look uphill at the cathedral, at which time something large did pass by Gabriel's horn. Large enough to be a hawk, but conceivably just a crow.
