I hadn’t had a chance to get up to 350 Central Park West for a few weeks and the nest looks great. The nest looks solid and in good shape. I caught up with the male near the Tennis Courts, and after watching the female on the nest, saw an exchange of the two hawks. The male took over egg warming duties and the female eat a pigeon left for her in a nearby tree. Then after she flew around for about five minutes, returned to the nest, and the male left.
310 West 72nd Street has to be the hardest nest to view in the city. It’s in a gutter at the top of the building and one can’t really see into the nest. But I was able to view an exchange of the two hawks, so I it would be safe to say the nest has eggs.
On the fourth floor level of the fire escape on a building on the northwest corner of 96th and Lexington Avenue, there is a new hawk nest. The female was brooding when I arrived and the male was briefly on a water tank before flying out of view. I stayed until after sunset, but didn’t see a nest exchange between the two hawks.
Two changes today.
I’m on vacation and can’t help share pictures of this cute Sea Otter near Monterey, California.
Glad to hear of an update on the hawks at 96th and Lexington. So here is a new chart.
