Anybody else notice the hawk that has been hanging out in Grand Army Plaza, on the side of Plaza Street east over near Butler & St. Johns?

    I've seen a pair of red-tail hawks flying about nearly every time I go into Prospect Park via Grand Army entrance. On occasion I've seen the male and female hunting in tandem over Prospect Heights. I am confident you're looking at the same one(s) that I see each week.

    They've been hanging out atop the tallest water tower in what's now the Atlantic Yards construction zone -very cool.
