Brooding on Fifth Avenue

The 5th Avenue pair are definitely incubating at this point.  Tonight, Pale Male was on the nest when I arrived, and the female returned after about twenty minutes.  Pale Male returned before dusk and removed a rat before settling down to roost.  (It didn’t appear that he eat the rat.)
