Twig Delivery To The Majestic Apartments

On Thursday, I got to see another twig delivery to the Majestic Apartments. The nest building should have been done weeks ago, so it will interesting to see how things turn out this year.

The Majestic Apartments

Peter Post emailed me that there has been Red-tailed Hawk nest building activity on the The Majestic Apartments this week, at 72nd and Central Park West. This is most likely the San Remo pair. They are nesting on the eastern face of the north tower, two floor of windows down from the top, just left of center.

While on my social distancing complaint, mental health walk today, I was able to photograph them briefly.

In addition to this news, I received a note from Jessica Ancker up in Inwood that that pair is brooding.

Beresford Red-tailed Hawk

One of the hawks from the failed San Remo nest was on the Beresford Apartments on Thursday and Friday. The pair which keeps laying eggs on the San Remo before their nest is done, did use this Beresford location to nest one year before abandoning the nest after a few weeks. This had been Pale Male’s mate Lola’s favorite winter spot for years before she died. So, whenever I see a hawk in this window it reminds me of her.

Central Park Hawks

November is a great time to watch hawks in Central Park. Migrants are coming through, both adults and juveniles and resident Red-tailed adults are more visible as the trees loose their leaves. Here’s a group of images taken over the last two weeks, from the south end to the north.

The San Remo

One of the adults was on the “nest” which had a plastic bag and a few twigs. Since a female Red-tail can take almost a week to lay three eggs, I’m not sure if we might see another egg so I’ve been keeping an eye out when I’m nearby. Today, I didn’t get any answer to what’s happening.

Central Park West Nests

I looked at the two Central Park Red-tailed Hawk nests on Tuesday.

On the San Remo, one of the hawks was on the ledge. It flew in and out a few times. Most of the twigs have blown off. The female may have an egg or two more to lay so I’ll be keeping an eye on the ledge over the next few days.
