There have been two juvenile red-tailed hawks as well as at least one adult hanging around Tompkins Square Park in the East Village since November. Seems like easy pickings for the hawkwatcher, but a visit to the park late Sunday afternoon took 45 minutes before one of the juvie puts in an appearance.
He was preening when found, but shortly after he hopped down to a lower branch where part of a pigeon carcass was cached. Dinner took 30-35 minutes as he was making sure to get every last morsel of the pigeon.
