What wildlife do you see on your rides?

[Trekhawk]

One of our Central Park hawks is missing and presumed dead. Lola was the fourth mate to Pale Male, who became well-known when he moved into Central Park and built a nest on a ritzy Fifth Avenue apartment building.

The building took down the nest at one point, but was forced by public outcry to allow the hawks to rebuild. The pair have been featured in a documentary and movie.

It's a romantic and anthropomorphic point of view, I know, but these two did seem to enjoy each others' company and engaged in courtship behaviors year-round. Pale Male has recently begun flirting with a new mate.

Here's Lola:

Oh that is sad. Thanks for including the link. I love hawks and enjoy seeing them flying around our valley although not too close to my chicken house.
