Egg Lost
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.
Not Again!
The good news is that the San Remo hawks have an egg. The very sad news is that yet again they haven’t built a proper nest and while the egg didn’t roll off the ledge, it came very close to being lost this afternoon. It is more than likely that this couple will have a failed nest again this year.
Another Day At The San Remo
I caught up with the San Remo pair late in the day, when they had completed their work for the day on the nest. They were perched on the north tower and one of them made a brief nest visit.
The San Remo
The San Remo/Beresford pair are again trying to build a nest on The San Remo’s north tower. They brought sticks, copulated and then brought plastic bags to the nest. In the high winds, it looked as though they lost more material than they had brought in. This pair just can’t get its act together. They have has a serious of failed nesting attempts, including letting an egg fall in 2016.
Silver-haired Bat at The Pond
I saw a Silver-haired Bat (and recorded its echo location) flying around the southern end of Turtle Pond. On days early or late in the season it is not uncommon to see a bat in the late afternoon. Nice to see my third bat in a week.
2019 Manhattan Red-tailed Hawk Nest Update 3
I was able to confirm that the nest at 310 West 72 Street was active today. So that gives us ten known active nests in Manhattan for 2109.
Below are video and images from the 310 West 72nd Street nest.
