Central Park Midweek

Wednesday, Pale Male was on a railing at the back of the Met. On Thursday, I photographed a Flycatcher and a number of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in Strawberry Fields.

Labor Day Picnic with Pale Male

Warning Graphic Content! If you’re not interested in seeing a rodent get eaten, you might want to view these pictures of Pale Male from a few weeks ago.

In the early evening on Monday, Pale Male was enjoying a meal of a mouse just opposite the north side of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Pale Male Catches And Eats A Mouse

Warning Graphic Content! If you’re not interested in seeing a mouse get caught and eaten, you might want to view these pictures of Pale Male from Friday.

Pale Male patiently waited in a tree branch on Sunday evening for supper to arrive near Cleopatra’s Needle.

I was pleased to see the photographers who watch Pale Male regularly, made sure he had an unobstructed flight path to his common hunting areas.

After hunting too fast for me to capture the kill, he jumps up on a low hanging tree branch bringing a few blades of grass along with his prey.

He takes about ten minutes to consume the mouse.

At the end, he swallows what’s left in one huge gulp.

He then used a number of tree branches as “toothpicks” to clean his beak.

Couldn’t Find What I Was Looking For. . .

I went birding on Sunday in hopes of finding the St. John the Divine hawks or the 1st Year Red-tailed hawk, Ben Cacace and Lincoln Karim have been seeing in Central Park. I didn’t find either of them.

I did see some old favorites however, the Red Squirrel (the only one in Central Park), Lola, the female Red-tailed Hawk from the 5th Avenue nest, who was on the NE tower of the Beresford keeping an eye on a Kestrel pair on the SE tower, and the two young Green Herons.

Beresford Apartments

On my way from the Green Herons to Morningside Park on Friday, I got to see Pale Male. He first flew around the Beresford, landed on some scaffolding, got harassed by another bird. He then perched lower on the building, and as I left the park went east being chased by the bird that had harassed him earlier.
