A gorgeous Tuesday afternoon around 3:00 found the female red-tailed hawk from the new Riverside Park nest out getting a little exercise. I first spotted her from a distrance perched close to the nest, but over the next 7-8 minutes she flew from tree-top to tree-top in the near-by area, apparently looking for just the right stick to add to the nest.
Quickly enough she returned to the nest and the male could be seen making a hasty exit from egg-tending duty.
The trees in Riverside are starting to sprout green foliage, so hawkwatching is about to get more difficult.
