Final news is coming in about Manhattan’s Red-tailed Hawk nests.  Inwood Hill is confirmed to have 2 fledglings.  Governors Island has at least one fledgling.  Randals Island has fledged three.  A fledgling has been discovered in Riverside Park near Columbia University.  And Fort Tryon must have fledglings by now.

Some nice reports this week:

• Two of the three eyasses on Randal’s Island have fledged.
• Both 72nd Street hawks have fledged
• A fledgling was discovered at 105th and Riverside Park.  Where this bird came from is uncertain

While not confirmed, the Inwood Hill nest must have fledged by now.  I just don’t have any information.  

Some good news.

• The nest on Governors Island was successful and there are reports of fledglings on the island.
• Tompkins Square Park has three healthy fledglings.
• The new nest up by CCNY/Annunciation Playground appears to have at one fledgling, and one still on the nest.

Just when it seemed that 2020 would be a poor year, yet another report of a new hawk nest has been reported.  The newly discovered nest is at 1516 Amsterdam Avenue at 135th Street.  Fantastic news.

Thanks to a photo from someone who lives in the building where the nest on 72nd Street between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, the nest is active with three eyasses.  I confirmed the nest was active this afternoon.

I was happy to receive a report from Randalls Island.  The nest is active with three eyasses.  Great news with the failures of nests around Central Park.
