Randals Island Red-tailed Hawk Nest

Ben Cacace let me know of a Red-tailed Hawk Nest on Randals Island a few weeks ago, but I finally had a chance to see it on Monday. It is one floor down from the top of the southern most tower of the Manhattan Phyciatric Center, 105 Rivers Edge Road, on the western wing’s western facade.

The nest is deep in an exhaust pipe of some sort and is difficult to see into. It appears there are two eyasses. I got some poor video of a parent and the young ones quickly shot when I arrived. Once I got fully set up, the young ones went to sleep out of view so I was unable to record more video.
