News since the last update:

• Pam Langford reports seeing a feeding at the Fort Washington nest.
• The 350 Central Park West nest seems to have been abandoned.  The cold, wet weather may have been the cause.  In my two visits, I saw neither parent but Stella Hamilton saw one of them in a tree a block from the nest on Wednesday. It would be nice if we could confirm that both parents are still alive.
• St. John and 310 West 72nd Street both look to have hatched based on parental behavior, but feedings haven’t been seen yet.  Both nests are difficult to observe.
• Pale Male and Octavia’s nest is too long overdue for a hatch. 

News of hatches is coming in, as well as initial eyass counts. 

• Inwood Hill has hatched.
• 100th and Third Avenue has hatched.  One eyass was seen but there are most likely more.
• 350 Central Park West has three eyasses.
• St. John appears to have hatched.

I’ll check up on the Fort Washington, Randalls Island and 72nd Street nests during the two week. 

The 927 Fifth Avenue nest is running very late this year.  There is a possibility that there might not be eyasses this year for Pale Male and Octavia.

Sadly, the hawk watchers of Washington Square Park have not seen the male nicknamed “Bobby” since Monday morning.  The mother has been hunting on her own and bringing food to the nest.

I’ve been busy watching spring migrants, but have gotten news about two nests.

1) Susan Kirby recorded feedings at 350 Central Park West.  Her video is on YouTube.  This is wonderful news.  In a few weeks, when the eyasses grow a little bigger this should be a wonderful nest to watch.  The nest is ten stories up, and five windows from the north and is best viewed from in front of the playgrounds either at 96/97th or 93rd from the sidewalk of the east side of Central Park West.

2) The third egg hatched at Washington Square.  The camera was restored a few years ago.  The URL is https://www.ustream.tv/channel/e3uYJSDgmbz  On a mobile phone, download the ustream application and search for “NYU Hawk Cam”.

Two nests have hatched in the past week, Tompkins Square Park and Washington Square Park.  Most of the others should be hatching within the next two weeks.

Two changes:

• I’ve added the San Remo nest to the list of nests.   While they lost an egg, there is a slight possibility that they will lay additional eggs.
• A new nest has been identified for Manhattan.  Thanks to Jessica Ancker, who saw a photographer’s Facebook post of the nest.  The nest is just west of the south lane of the Henry Hudson Parkway, and east of the Amtrak tracks at 164th Street.  It can be seen from Riverside Drive or from Fort Washington Park.

I was able to confirm that the nest at 310 West 72 Street was active today.  So that gives us ten known active nests in Manhattan for 2109.

Below are video and images from the 310 West 72nd Street nest.
