Pale Male and Lola Are at It Again

2006_03_11_palemale.jpg

Besides that 70°+ weather yesterday, would you like some further proof that we're at least moving towards spring? Well, would you?

How's about this then? This week, New York's most famous birds, Pale Male and Lola, have begun making house again at their Fifth Avenue penthouse perch!

After spending the winter months hanging around the trees in Central Park, nibbling on pigeons and squirrels, the couple has returned to higher ground to lay, hatch and nurse a new batch of eggs. This year will be the fifth that the couple has done this (13-year-old Pale Male has had ~26 chicks with four mates), so with any luck maybe Gotham might have us some baby red tails to coo over in April!

Update: Not to let the New out scoop them the Post turns up the Page Six and reports that Pale Male may have fertilized Lola's eggs in front of seemingly septuagenarian Cosmopolitan editrix Helen Gurley Brown. Chew on that why don't you.

    These are not just any hawks. Pale Male & Lola are *celebrity* hawks. They have their own book, their own website, their architectually constructed nest support, etc. Do pandas have that?



    Plus--they aid in ridding NYC of its massive pigeon problem.

  • WNBC interviewed some woman who came from Florida just to see the hawks. That is a bit crazy. It's not like its pandas.
