A slice of city life… nowadays its mainly about birds.
Score! Another #redtailedhawk feather. I believe this one is from a very young bird. #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Here are two of the brothers from last year’s Swan babies. They haven’t show any interest in leaving the park. #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
So what do you think? Is this squirrel munching on hazelnuts? #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
And this is the Mama #redtailedhawk. She has overcome tight living quarters and sickness to raise 3 chicks that are exploring the world. 👏👏👏 👏 Brooklyn nest 2 #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
She had a penchant for perching way into tree branches. This is one of the other times spotted her.
When the third #redtailedhawk fledged I believe she flew out of the nest about an hour before I found her in the tree. It was an obscured view but I did get baby fluff! (Cont in comments) Brooklyn nest 2 #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Papa #redtailedhawk hearing his girls call for him. Brooklyn nest 2 #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
I believe this is the boy who was the first to fledge. I haven’t seen him in days, he’s probably learning how to hunt. Brooklyn nest 2 #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
One #redtailedhawk fledgling is checking out construction job opportunities. Brooklyn nest 2 #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Just two #redtailedhawk fledgling sisters enjoying a cool rainy day and letting Dad know to bring home dinner. Brooklyn nest 2 #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
She lived the first 2 months of her life on air conditioner on the 13th floor. Now the second fledgling has discovered gravity and the feel of dirt under her feet. Brooklyn nest 2 #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
LOL I climbed into a fenced off area to find the second #redtailedhawk fledgling. A Blue Jay was dive bombing her. Brooklyn nest 2 #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Brooklyn nest 2 All three #redtailedhawk babies have fledged. They aren’t hunting yet so this little one was crying for food. Dad dropped off dinner. #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Brooklyn nest 2 Having outgrown the first AC unit the #redtailedhawk family have also acquired the AC unit next door. #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Brooklyn nest 2 Looks like 3 almost fledglings are still in the nest. They were very intrigued with the cleaning platform moving down the side of the building. Parents must be giving them space. #birds #redtailedhawk #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Brooklyn nest 1 One of the babies fledged last week and began to learn a difficult fact of life: Blue Jays are bullies. The parents were flying around, keeping on eye on the situation but didn’t intervene. #birds #redtailedhawk #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Brooklyn nest 3 Finally! There’s a little family in this nest. #birds #redtailedhawk #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Manhattan nest 2 Seeing an empty nest is bittersweet. One day I saw two curious babies. The next day Aladdin fledged. I visited a few days later and Magic had fledged that morning. (Continued in comments) #birds #redtailedhawk #BirdsSeenIn2026
Manhattan nest 1 This nest was a long time home of Pale Male and Octavia. Pale Male died in 2023 and Octavia has a new partner, Henry. We believe this is their first active nest. (Continued in comments) #birds #redtailedhawk #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Brooklyn nest 2 Word is there are 3 eyases. Mom got sick and had to be treated by the Wild Bird Fund. She’s back tending to them. Doesn’t it look like one of the babies is growing feathers? #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Brooklyn nest 1 H1: Wow, long day H2: Yea, the baby just wouldn’t take a nap. . . . H1: Don’t you have nest duty? H2: No, you have nest duty! ***Who’s watching the baby? *** #birds #redtailedhawk #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Saw them on Thursday and one started to fly on Friday. NYAC hawk family (video in comments) #birds #redtailedhawk #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
“Whatdayalookinat? Haven’t you seen hawks living on an air conditioner before?” Umm, no. The #wildbirdfund helped get the momma hawk healthy again. Here she is back to tending to one of her three babies. #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
How many Canada Geese babies are there? (Psst, they’ve gotten BIG) #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
The next time you ride the subway you can test your bird knowledge. I saw these New York State Tourism ads in English and Spanish. Each versions has different birds on it. #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Bad weather, fledgling flight delayed. #birds #redtailhawks #BirdsSeenIn2026
Just for a minute there were 3 Green Herons at Dell water yesterday. #birds #brooklynbirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
