So the big news this week with the baby red tail hawk nesting on a ledge above Washington Square Park is that he has a name now....Pip. There was a
naming contest online and Pip won, with York coming in a close second. The reference is to Dickens' "Great Expectations" as everyone was surprised when Pip busted out of his shell a week after the experts said he was not going to hatch. Now Pip is thriving and getting bigger by the day.
If you need a daily hit of adorable, forget those cat videos on YouTube. You can check out the latest star of Internet cuteness l
ive on his own streaming webcam page. You can even chat with other hawk watchers about all the excitement goin on in the nest as this little neighborhood bird gets bigger every day. I challenge you not to smile when he turns his big black eyes to the camera and stares like the cute eyeas he is.
