Fifth Avenue Calm
Tonight, it was a quiet night at Fifth Avenue, with Pale Male and Octavia not doing much of anything!
Washington Square Park
While hawks are incubating eggs, visits to a nest can be dull or exciting. At Washington Square Park, it was exciting tonight with a nice rodent kill and some visits to the nest. News from NYU is that there are three eggs this year.
Fifth Avenue
Another quiet late afternoon at Fifth Avenue. Pale Male at 79th Street and Octavia on the nest.
Pale Male and Octavia
When I arrived at the Fifth Avenue nest, Pale Male was on the Carlyle Hotel and Octavia was on the nest. Pale Male soon flew over the Met and wasn’t seen for the rest of the evening. Octavia stayed on the nest occasionally getting up to roll the eggs or preen. All in all a quiet evening by the boat pond.
