Terence Cardinal Cooke Nest
I took a look at the nest on Sunday and nothing happened, which is exactly what should be happening this time of year. Just a female sitting on her eggs.
Pale Male
Pale Male was eating a Brown Rat just north of the Met on late Saturday afternoon. It was nice to see the old guy.
South of the Pinetum Red-tailed Hawk Nest
When I looked at the new nest a few days ago, I didn’t see the brooding female, just the male making a quick visit. But reviewing my footage, she was there. Today, I looked for more vantage points to see into the nest and was able to get some pictures. This is going to be a very hard nest to watch!
American Bittern
An infrequent visitor to Central Park was found this morning on The Pool, an American Bittern.
Ritz-Carlton Brooding
Often while watching a hawk nest, nothing happens. Tonight was one of those nights, where all I saw was the female sitting on eggs for over ninety minutes!
New Nest
Tahj Holiday has been watching the San Remo Red-tailed Hawk pair build a nest in a pine tree, southwest and across the path, from the swing sets in the Pinetum. The nest is about 10 feet from the top of one of the tallest pines.
Today, I saw a hawk briefly visit, sit down in the nest and leave after a few minutes. It was the first time I had seen a hawk in the nest. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next two weeks.
