An adult Cooper's Hawk was spotted at 10:29a on the antenna west of the apartment facing due south or downtown and towards the east side. It flipped 180º at 11:11a and back to facing south at 11:14a. Shortly after at ~11:25a it attempted to rest on its right leg but the winds were too strong throwing the hawk off balance.

At 12:12p, shortly after all the pigeons left the building just uptown from the hawk, it flew towards York Avenue. It landed on the top fire escape of 433 East 74th Street facing the east side. Shortly after dropping mutes it left the perch at 12:15p and wasn't relocated.

Taking with an iPhone 14 Pro (ProRaw - Telephoto Camera 77 mm / f2.8). Original dimensions.

Photo #1 & #2 were edited in Lightroom Mobile to bring out the shadows and details on the hawk and to tone down the redness of the brick building.

Adult Peregrine Falcon on the easternmost of the four tall poles on the Hammer Heath Sciences Building north of Haven Avenue along Fort Washington Avenue north and east of the overlook west of 165th Street and Riverside Drive.

The perch was roughly 970 feet away. Longer than three football (U.S.) fields.

Juvenile Cooper's Hawk feeding on a freshly caught pigeon. All the images were with the head in motion as it was actively feeding. The hawk eventually had the meal taken by a local Red-tailed Hawk when the Cooper's Hawk tried moving the prey to a new location.

This poor image was taken when the female American Kestrel perched briefly on 2002 5th Avenue after I watched it for several minutes on the top of a water tower west of this perch along West 124th Street.
