Pale Male and Lola on Monday

These pictures of Pale Male and Lola taken on Monday really are new! They sure look a lot like the previous days, which makes sense since it’s the same locations for both of them.

I learned on Sunday that hawks were back on the Mt. Sinai Medical Center. I went up on Monday and saw this adult hawk on a water tower one block north of the hospital. I only got a few pictures in the golden light of the setting sun before the hawk flew off. Who is this hawk?

Sunday with Pale Male and Lola

The rain kept me from the park until about 4 p.m. on Sunday. When I arrived Pale Male and Lola were on an antenna atop a building at 79th and Fifth Avenue. I had to rush home to accept a grocery delivery, but when I returned to the park around 5:30, Pale Male was east of the Met in a tree he’s been using over the last few days which overlooks a few apple trees. While photographing Pale Male, Lola few from the east side to the west side, where she ended up roosting on the SE tower of the Beresford for the evening.
