On Sunday, I only saw the remaining cathedral red-tail baby for about three minutes. It was scoping out the territory when I first arrived but soon laid for a nap. As I had just watched a parent circling over Manhattan Valley and later perching on the Towers on the Park, I suspect a meal was recently concluded.
Meanwhile, down in Morningside Park, a great egret was hanging out in the pond. It kept trying to find a better spot, flying across the pond several times while I watched.
I'd never considered before how difficult preening could be if one has a really long neck.
Wonderful shots of the egret as contortionist.
