Pinetum Nest Hatches at 84th Street

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.

Central Park Area Hawks

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.

  • It looks like The Ritz-Carlton nest may have failed on Central Park South. I haven’t seen anyone on the nest in a few visits, but saw the female spend an hour on a ledge two floors below the nest. She spent at least 45 minutes there.
  • The San Remo pair, that is now nesting in a tree continues to brood south of the swings in the Pinetum.
  • The TCC nest at 105th and Fifth, continues to brood. Pictures of a recent visit are below.
  • The St. John the Divine pair appears to have moved the nest to a Columbia dorm, John Jay Hall.
