Octavia was hanging out on a building just south of the Frick about a week ago.  It’s one of her favorite spots and the “hawk chawk” below the window proves it.

Pale Male continues to hunt near the “Polish statue” in Central Park.  He might be the easiest Red-tailed Hawk to watch in New York.  He had caught a small mouse before I arrived, but was certainly keeping an eye out for his next meal, while I watched him.

Pale Male at the Obelisk (also know as, Cleopatra’s Needle) in Central Park today.  He loves this area in the fall, and patiently waits until the rats come out at dusk.

Pale Male continues to eat and hunt in the late afternoons east of the Great Lawn in Central Park.  He’s not there every day, but he’s there often, as he has in past years.  I caught up with him on Friday and Sunday.

Pale Male was in one of his favorite late summer/fall eating spots on Saturday.  He likes a tree with a wide flat branch that makes a great picnic table in a triangle shaped lawn that is north of the Polish statue and south of the Obelisk.  He was eating a rat.  After he was done, he flew over to the Met.  He should enjoy now before the roof reopens to visitors.

Frederic Lilien has generously made his film The Legend of Pale Male available to watch for free during the Covid-19 outbreak.  Enjoy the film!
