Saw this hawk circling over the neighborhood this morning. The Beekman Tower is in the background.

Poor thing, alive but probably not for long, standing unresponsive in the middle of the busy sidewalk on East Houston Street.

Yes NYC does border the ocean.

Bold starling let me get a couple of feet away from him.

These guys seemed to enjoy posing for me, in fact two others joined them on the fence. Or maybe they were too hot to feel like flying.

I haven’t seen neither beak nor feather of my pal Samantha Raven in a couple of months, so I guess I’ll have to make friends with the pigeons. I wonder if you can identify individuals by plumage.

I took this photo on May 11, I haven’t seen her since. A neighbor whose apartment overlooks the cemetery hasn’t seen her in a couple of weeks. I don’t think her wing have healed enough for her to wander off by herself. But she was able to reach adjacent rooftops by scrambling up nearby trees. So I guess she could have maybe headed to Tompkins Square or some nearby back garden. Here’s hoping she is doing well.
