New Male at St. John
I've been troubled all week by the disappearance of the male from the St. John's pair and the news of his replacement by a younger hawk. It finally sunk in, when I got to see the new St. John the Divine male this afternoon.
The new male on the left and our successful mother on the right, on a window of St. Luke's Hospital's Plant building.
He has a very light eye color and a cleaner white breast color compared to the female.
Crows have made a comeback this year in Morningside Park. There are now about six.
The female chased three European Starlings off of the Plant Building and caught one in mid-air.
The male on the Wadleigh school building.
Both hawks visited the nest. The male is visible on the right.
The female exits on the left. The male follows her within a minute.
The male in different light. It's going to take some practice to tell the male and the female apart.
