Hawks' Nest, a Fixture in New York, Is Destroyed December 8, 2004 By THOMAS J. LUECK A nest constructed a decade ago by red-tailed hawks 12 stories above Central Park, creating an unlikely wildlife habitat that has delighted bird lovers from around the world, was removed yesterday, apparently by workers for its host co-op apartment building. . . . Experts said that the fate of a family of uncommonly large and resilient birds, which have reproduced prolifically from the nest, had been thrown into doubt. So was that of the nest's most famous red-tailed resident, Pale Male, who arrived at the building in 1993 and, according to detailed records kept by several bird-watchers, has sired 23 youngsters. . . . The story of Pale Male and his offspring has been well documented. Marie Winn, whose 1998 book on the subject, "Red-Tails in Love," was the basis of a PBS documentary called "Pale Male," said yesterday that the nest had been removed once before, in 1993, the year it was built. . . snipped http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/08/nyregion/ 08hawk.html?ex=1103511916&ei=1&en=c4bc99f89c65d069 Copyright 2004 The New York Times Company You may need to register to see the complete article David Hindin _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
