In the northwest corner of the Wild West Playground around 93rd and Central Park West is a new Red-tailed Hawk Nest, with a brooding female. I went out in the rain, expecting there to be a break, but it was misty or raining the entire time I was there! The male joined the female briefly near the nest, and she came off the nest. They copulated, and then she returned to the nest.

This location has always had bad luck with eyasses and adults dying, mostly from frounce. I hope this pair will do better than past years.
