Looks Like 116th Street Beats Fifth Avenue
While I was at the Fifth Avenue nest, which I thought would be the first nest to hatch in Manhattan, I got two emails saying it looked like a feeding was taking place at 116th and Riverside Drive. So, it looks like we are starting to have eggs in the city hatch!

Activism Needed – Please Help
As many of you know, a female hawk died in the Chinatown/City Hall area earlier this season. The necropsy results for the bird has come back, with a verdict of “Poisoning – Anticoagulant rodenticide”. Laura Goggin reports on her blog that the male has found a new mate but poisoning continues near where the pair have decided to nest. This means we could easily have another hawk death, just like the first if no action is taken.
Please take a few minutes to read Laura’s latest report and if you have time write a polite letter to the City Council member for the area. Details are on Laura’s blog.
Fifth Avenue
It looks like we still have a few more days before the nest hatches at Fifth Avenue. I looked for signs of a hatch but found none tonight. Pale Male was on the Carlyle Hotel and Octavia was on the nest.
