2018 Manhattan Nest Update 8
Since the last report, we have confirmation that Grant’s Tomb has hatched and we have preliminary eyass counts coming in from various nests.
96th Street Has Two Eyasses
They youngsters are finally big enough to photograph at 96th and Lexington Avenue. It looks like we have two little ones in the nest.
Update 5/13/18: It turns out we have three eyasses this year.
2 or 3
The Fifth Avenue nest’s eyasses are still a bit too small to see clearly. It may well turn out that there are only two. This evening’s meal was gray squirrel.
Update 5/10/18: It looks like we have only two eyasses this year.
2018 Manhattan Nest Update 7
Washington Square Park, 96th and Lexington, and Inwood Hill Park have hatched.
Not Yet At 350 Central Park West
My hunch that the 350 Central Park West nest had hatched looks to have been premature. My visit today had two visits from the male but no sign of a hatch.
Fifth Avenue Eyasses
Pale Male and Octavia’s nest was very active this afternoon. Two eyasses (nestlings) were visible at one point. A feeding lasted a very, very long time, so there is a chance we have an unseen younger eyass that remains too small to be seen.
I’ve uploaded two videos, a short one that lets you see the two eyasses if you look closely, and a standard lengthy one.
