Updates:

1. Pale Male and Octavia’s nest had hatched
2. Tompkins Square Park’s new female, Amelia is brooding.

It looks like the J. Hood Wright Park and CCNY/Shepard Hall nests are both inactive this year.  I visited J. Hood Wright Park earlier in the week and saw a Red-Tailed Hawk perched on Haven Avenue on the west side of the park, so the nest may be in a new location this year.  At CCNY, I didn’t see any activity.  The CCNY pair may have relocated to the radio tower they used a few years ago.  Let’s hope we hear some good news about either pair, later in the season.

Updates

1. Red-tailed Hawks are nesting on the flood lights of Field 10 out on Randals Island again this year.
2. The 310 West 72nd Street nest is confirmed to be active again.
3. Tompkins Square park has become a version of the dating game, will it be Contestant #1, Contestant #2 or Contestant #3?
4. I made a note that there is a good chance we’ll find a nest on Governors Island this year.  We’ll find out when the island opens to the public May 1.

Two changes today. 

1. The Highbridge Park nest appears not to be in use this year.  I suspect there a nest in the park, but is as of yet not found.
2. In Tompkins Square Park, Dora appears to have injured her wing again and has gone back to rehab.  A new female is claiming the nest.  There is a post on the EV Grieve blog.  Laura Goggin Photography’s has also posted about the events on Wednesday.

Glad to hear of an update on the hawks at 96th and Lexington.  So here is a new chart.

I’m on vacation in California, but I’m getting reports about the Manhattan nests.  Any additional news would be welcome.  In general, it looks like this year’s nests are running a week or two later than last years nests.
