Stella Hamilton let me know of a new Red-tailed Hawk nest this afternoon. It is at 1115 Fifth Avenue, which is just south of 93rd Street. The news is bittersweet, as she discovered the nest because the hawk pair was calling in distress, as workers lowered a rig down the side of the façade.

These situations have not worked out well in past years. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully, the building contacts the NYS DEC for advice on how to handle the situation.
