Pale Male and Lola on the Beresford
On Saturday afternoon, Pale Male and Lola spent a few minutes together on the Beresford.

Pale Male was tough to find on Thursday. I finally found him in a tree east of the basketball courts, northeast of the Great Lawn.
Over the past few weeks, both Pale Male and Lola have been spending time further north than usual. I wonder if they are establishing a territory boundary line between themselves and the hawk(s?) up at Mt. Sinai?
These pictures of Pale Male and Lola taken on Monday really are new! They sure look a lot like the previous days, which makes sense since it’s the same locations for both of them.
The rain kept me from the park until about 4 p.m. on Sunday. When I arrived Pale Male and Lola were on an antenna atop a building at 79th and Fifth Avenue. I had to rush home to accept a grocery delivery, but when I returned to the park around 5:30, Pale Male was east of the Met in a tree he’s been using over the last few days which overlooks a few apple trees. While photographing Pale Male, Lola few from the east side to the west side, where she ended up roosting on the SE tower of the Beresford for the evening.
Pale Male spent the afternoon behind the Met again on Saturday. Red-tails like to perch on one leg and stretch the other. Pale Male did this all afternoon.
I could only stay in the park for about an hour on Friday evening, but was able to find Pale Male. He’s moved a little further north than usual. There are a set of apple trees that are dropping fruit, which are attracting mice, which may be luring Pale Male to move 200 feet north.
