New updates on Violet and Bobby-report by Roger_Paw:
Violet is eating well and resting - December 25, 2011
Good morning and Merry Christmas. The report from the Horvaths is that Violet ate well last night and was given pain medication and antibiotics. She is resting well.
She was skinny but surprisingly not emaciated so she had been getting some nutrition out in the wild (most likely in the form of small mice she could swallow whole since she had so much trouble holding and tearing into prey as large as rats).
Her good foot is in pretty bad shape in all actuality. It does not have much mobility so it was surprising how well she was able to hold onto perches. She is able to balance on her own though as we've seen in the wild.
She is in a quiet, calm place so she can rest.
Bobby and his new mate(?) - December 25, 2011
Bobby palled around with a new red-tailed hawk friend today in Washington Square Park. All signs indicate the new hawk is Bobby's new mate. They hung around together all day. They flew together, perched together, fought off dive-bombing peregrine falcons together, did a courting talon-lock dance in the sky together, and ended up roosting together in a tree.
If this new partner 'keeps', we'll most likely see new eggs in the spring. Today was full of activity so I will get right to it and start fleshing out this post with all the pics from the day but wanted to bring you this update now.
