Various issues kept me from checking on the cathedral red-tailed hawks for a week. Then when I did spend an hour and a half looking for them on Friday, I saw and heard nothing. Another hour at the cathedral and in Morningside Park on Sunday looked like it was going to be a bust, but just as I was exiting the area, I looked sideways and spotted one of the fledglings.
He was perched on the shady side of the nave, out of the sun on a very hot Sunday, and also away from the trees where those obnoxious robins might chirp-chirp at him.
At one brief moment it looked like he might be watching a parent fly by.
Although he might have just been panting and watching a jet. He was also scanning the parking lot below, as little as there is to see down there.
And unfortunately, after 10 minutes I had to leave for family dinner.
