I was hoping to see signs of Pale Male and Octavia’s nest hatching today.  But it looks like we’re still a few days away.  Octavia spent a great deal of time standing up off the eggs, but it was a warm sunny day, so this could just have been due to the weather.

While I was at the Fifth Avenue nest, which I thought would be the first nest to hatch in Manhattan, I got two emails saying it looked like a feeding was taking place at 116th and Riverside Drive.  So, it looks like we are starting to have eggs in the city hatch!

It looks like we still have a few more days before the nest hatches at Fifth Avenue.  I looked for signs of a hatch but found none tonight. Pale Male was on the Carlyle Hotel and Octavia was on the nest.

Tonight, it was a quiet night at Fifth Avenue, with Pale Male and Octavia not doing much of anything!

Another quiet late afternoon at Fifth Avenue.  Pale Male at 79th Street and Octavia on the nest.

When I arrived at the Fifth Avenue nest, Pale Male was on the Carlyle Hotel and Octavia was on the nest.  Pale Male soon flew over the Met and wasn’t seen for the rest of the evening.  Octavia stayed on the nest occasionally getting up to roll the eggs or preen.  All in all a quiet evening by the boat pond.
