Meanwhile, someone has posted a homemade sign near where the hawks have been at play… reminding visitors that the fledglings are exploring the park \u2014 and asking dog owners to keep their pets leashed. (Photo by Stacie Joy.)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The laminated notice cites a “New York State law” requiring dogs to be on leashes.\u00a0While there isn’t a statewide leash law, dogs are required to be leashed in New York City parks unless they’re in a dog run or a designated off-leash area. In parks with off-leash hours, dogs are permitted off leash only from park opening until 9 a.m. and from 9 p.m. until closing, per NYC 311<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sign doesn’t appear to be an official Parks Department notice \u2014 there’s no agency logo or branding \u2014 but its message echoes reminders from wildlife advocates and hawk watchers during fledgling season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the young hawks continue learning to fly and spend more time on or near the ground, keeping dogs leashed can help prevent potentially dangerous encounters for both wildlife and pets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The three red-tailed hawk fledglings continue to be active in Tompkins Square Park… even during the HEAT DOME,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290139,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-290138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
