Pinetum Red-tailed Hawk Nest

I wasn’t able to photograph the activity at the nest, but was able to watch the San Remo/Pinetum pair copulate on The Beresford, and bring nesting material to the nest on Monday afternoon. It looks like they are on track to nest again. It’s good news as folks had seen a raccoon sleeping in the nest a few months ago and there was some tentative nest building on the San Remo in January.

The open question is what is happening in the north end of the park. I saw two Red-tails over The Pool engaged in a courtship flight, but haven’t seen where they are nesting. Hopefully, the North End Birders will find it.

Update: I just heard from John Baisley, an Urban Park Ranger, that the Terrence Cardinal Cooke pair has moved their nest two blocks south to the southern end of the Museum of the City of New York building.
