Pale Male was on a baseball backstop on the Great Lawn when I arrived in the park around 6:00 p.m. He stayed there for quite awhile before attempting to hunt twice unsuccessfully. He then moved to a tree north of the Met to roost for the evening.
Update: I received an email from a reader worried about Pale Male’s unsuccessful hunting attempts. Red-tailed Hawks miss their prey frequently. So, Pale Male missing a few times doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Pale Male is doing just fine.
