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.

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.

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.

Neither of the San Remo hawks was sitting on the nest late this morning, so I assume they lost their egg to gravity sometime in the last 24 hours.
