Pale Male and Lola's Chicks Hatching Right Now!

hawk_chicks.png.jpg "At 3:38 PM today Lola began mantling...That is, she spread her wings as if to shield the very hot sun from a newly hatched chick. She continued this mantling throught the evening.

On Sunday evening Pale male brought a well prepared pigeon for Lola. She ate it all in the nest while he stayed by her side throught the meal." Does he know how to treat a woman or what?

I saw Pale Male in Central Park this morning soaring home with a pigeon in his mouth. Saw him yesterday too, along with a woodpecker, an egret, and something I could swear the bird-watchers identified as a yellow-tushied warbler.

Be glad you don't own a Fifth Avenue-facing $13 million co-op in Pale Male's building. Busloads of the faithful are camped out with super telescopes and binoculars trained on the famous hawks. One guy has a TV monitor hooked up somehow so people who don't have a couple thousand dollars worth of equipment can see the births too.

UPDATE: According to Pale Male's site, at least one New York Chick hatched last night. I didn't see Pale Male on his usual morning breakfast run today, so maybe he was home with the family.

Gosh, my brother, David, is glad (I think!) he doesn't own a Fifth Avenue-facing $13 million co-op. At the same time, he has his own issues with powerful birds.

Recently he's been watching the progress of three mockingbird eggs in a tree in his back yard. He's taken many pictures while waiting, and finally they hatched.

In order to get good photos, he has to get very, very close to the nest. This infuriates Father Mockingbird, and now, every time David exits the patio door, he comes under attack from the Feathered Protector.

Can't wait to hear more about the New York Chick.

The mental image of Father hummingbird attacking is probably a lot funnier than the fact.

I'm wondering how many New York Chicks there will be by tomorrow.
