2014 Manhattan Score Card Update 5

All confirmed nests have hatched except for Thompkin Square Park, which should hatch by this weekend.

Randalls Island hasn’t been confirmed.  I couldn’t find either hawk on my visit last weekend.

The eyasses are getting bigger and confirmed counts are coming in.  Fifth Avenue has three eyasses, with the other counts at two.  (Thanks to the Morningside Hawks Blog for news about J. Hood Wright Park.)

It looks to be a great year for Red-tailed Hawks in Manhattan, with slightly lower eyess totals due to the cold and snowy winter.

Not much has changed this week. 

The major news is that NYU will not be providing a web feed this year from the Washington Square Park nest. NYU took over after the New York Times stopped sponsoring the camera last year, but choose not to continue this year. 

While NYU may not be continuing the camera, their commitment to the hawks is still very strong.  Last year, when the fledglings were on the street, NYU’s Public Safety team was very protective of them.  This support of the hawks will continue.

Glenn Alvarez has confirmed that the Highbridge/Swindler’s Cove is where it was last year and that a hawk was sitting on the nest when he visited the nest

There are multiple reports of hawks on El Doroado Apartments.  These hawks have also been seen carrying twigs.

The Morningside Hawks blog confirms the J.Hood Wright Park nest is brooding.

There is no NYU/Washington Square webcam news to report.  NYU has not let anyone know if they will be setting up a camera this year.
