Pale Male

By D. Bruce YoltonAugust 12, 2012December 26, 2020927 5th Avenue Red-tailed Hawks

Today, I went looking for hawks in Central Park and was only able to find Pale Male.  I found him on his favorite antenna twice, before following him to a Met security camera, and then the area just north of the Polish statue.

He patiently hunted, caught and ate a rat.
