The Majesty of A Hawk in Winter

Posted on February 4, 2019 at 6:30 pm by West Sider

Photographers caught amazing photos of hawks in Riverside and Central Parks in recent days. The first three, of a Cooper’s Hawk in Riverside Park, were shot by Christopher Ang. The next three were shot by Nicholas Noyes in Central Park.

      We’ve seen a hawk spending the night in the “island” on Riverside Drive between 98 and 99, but he seems to have moved on.

      Thank you for these impressive photos. More respect for nature would make a big difference in helping Americans and our politicians take climate change seriously. It threatens these beautiful birds just as it threatens us.

      The second photo reminded me of a picture an old boss had in his office, though it was of an eagle, it would be apropos for the hawk and it said: “But I am smiling”.
