I found a Western Kingbird by Fort Jay on Governors Island, NYC. Seconds later an immature Cooper’s Hawk blasted in a pursued it, ignoring the numerous nearby Flickers, Robins, and Starlings.
I relocated the Kingbird in the tall trees in nearby Nolan Park so happily it wasn’t caught. Being seen now (2pm) hawking insects from tops of trees.
