There's a surprising abundance of wildlife in Manhattan. We even get the occasional lost coyote.
Nearby my apartment in Riverside Park, we have a pair of nesting Red Tail Hawks that had three babies this year. The biggest of the three died when it was hit by a car, but the other two are still going strong. It has been fun watching them learn to fly.
Birds are generally not my thing, but I have had the occasion to shoot them a couple times ... here's some shots of mom and the babies ...
Enjoy!
