Pinetum Nest
One eyass was very visible for about thirty minutes this afternoon. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

I got to see two heads during a feeding this afternoon. It was just a few minutes of video, but it clearly was two eyasses. We’ll know for sure if it’s just two, in about a week.
I think I saw one of the eyasses hidden behind sticks today. But it will still be a few days before we see the eyasses clearly. I got to see both parents and a feeding as well this afternoon.
Great news. Today, both Tahj Holiday and I both saw a feeding at the new nest just south of the Pinetum. In the first week or so, and maybe longer for this nest, isn’t possible to see the new hatched eyasses (young hawks) because they are hidden due to their small size. But before the eggs hatch, the parents don’t eat on the nest. So, seeing feeding behavior is a sure sign of a hatch.
It seems as though these are the same hawks that have failed to nest on the San Remo for years. So, this hatch is great news for those of us who thought they might never be parents.
This nest is very really hard to see into, so the photos and video are just for documentation.
I was away for ten days, so I’ve checked up on the nesting Central Park Hawks plus St. John the Divine over the last few days.
When I looked at the new nest a few days ago, I didn’t see the brooding female, just the male making a quick visit. But reviewing my footage, she was there. Today, I looked for more vantage points to see into the nest and was able to get some pictures. This is going to be a very hard nest to watch!
