The new nest at the Beresford Apartments and the relocated nest at St. John the Divine both seem to have failed this year. We’ll see if either pair tries to have a second clutch.

On the other hand, hawks have been seen with nesting material on The San Remo and a fire escape at 100th and Third Avenue.  So, we could be in for some late surprises this year.

The Fifth Avenue nest now has three very visible eyasses.  One’s a bit of a bully and they can now move around the nest with ease.

Octavia must have some hungry youngsters on her hands.  Every time I visit the nest, I get to see her feeding her three eyasses.

(There was a hatchling being fed on Sunday, April 26th.  So, please be aware that the dates and ages of the eyasses being listed on the Palemale.com site for 2015 are incorrect.)

Although most of the 5th Avenue bench thought we had three eyasses, today was the first time I could see for sure.  The video is a nice long feeding of all three youngsters.  Enjoy the little ones.  They’ll be grown up before you know it!

(The second video is the same as the first, except is cropped differently.  It will make it easier to see the eyasses on smartphones and other small screens.)

The Fifth Avenue eyasses are now visible during feedings.  Pale Male was on the nest when I arrived, who was quickly replaced by Octavia, who fed the eyasses. 

At this point, I can only see two little heads at any one time.  However, based on feeding patterns, there is a good chance we have three eyasses in the nest.  We should be able to figure it out how many for sure by this weekend.

I finally got to see a young eyass this season.  It was at Fifth Avenue. The glimpses were quick, but I did get to see a young hawk.  In the next few weeks this should easily become two dozen.  The video has the best view.

I was hoping to see a little eyass head on Wednesday evening at Fifth Avenue, but they were still to small to see.  I tried all of the angles I know of for a chance at a view without success!

Pale Male brought a squirrel to the nest during one of Octavia’s feedings.  Unlike Sunday, were she fed for only a brief period, she had lots of work to do now.
