I’ve been so wrapped up with owls this winter that I haven’t been doing much hawk watching. Today, I was in the right place at the right time and saw Octavia on the 927 Fifth Avenue nest and Pale Male in the Ramble.

Unlike last year, I should be able to get around the city to check on nests this year. We have some mysteries to solve, such as if the male at Washington Square Park is the 2nd or 3rd hawk of the nest and get to know the new female. There is also the Fort Tryon nest I never got to see.

Hopefully, 2021 will be a good year for hawks in Manhattan.
