We have several red tail hawk hatches in Manhattan -- two are within my biking range. These photos are of the nest in Riverside Park, which I've watched for a year now. Riverside Mom and Dad are so smart -- we silly humans were worried about her nest location, but it survived two Nor'easters. Tonight the photographer of the below photos was kind enough to let me look at babies through his camera.

The hawk nest on the building in the photos below belongs to Palemale and Lola -- their nest was famously destroyed by building management in 2005. After protests, a nest cradle was put up for them to rebuild, but their eggs have never hatched since humans interfered. We think Riverside Mom is Palemale's daughter, so at least he has grandchildren this year!
