Manhattan is entering the hawk egg-hatching period. No hatches have been reported although I suspect one site has probably had one. Others should follow by the start of next week. But at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the red-tailed hawks have been especially coy in their high eyrie, even when I have been able to get away from work to see what they might be up to. When a hatch will happen there is anyone's guess.
Meanwhile, down in Morningside Park, great egret visits apparently continue on a daily basis. And this week the double-crested cormorant visits have begun. Early Thursday evening, one of each was present. The egret was lurking in the shadows under the big willow, but the cormorant was drying himself off on the turtle rock.
All dry now.
Close up.
And reverse side.
