Goggla broke (sorry!) the news yesterday that Christo and Dora's chicks have hatched in their nest up on the Christodora House on Avenue B.
The top shot, showing the hatching in action, is courtesy of photographer Francois Portmann.
Find more hawk/egg photos at his photography site here. Photos like this…
He'll have photos of the chicks from the nest cam soon.
Meanwhile, please visit Goggla's Gog in NYC site for much more on the hawks.

ReplyDeleteMazel tov, hawks!
ReplyDeleteHow egg-citing! Is this the first clutch for this pair?
ReplyDeleteSo awesome to see happy news. I'm a tree hugger and damn proud of it, so the efforts of all are greatly appreciated.
I'm sure the squirrels, mice and rats of Tompkins Square Park as just egg-static about the news.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be so smart and respond with a clever pun based on the word ecstatic. Sadly, I'm way too stupid to think of anything exciting. (well, apparently I just missed another opportunity)I bow my head in shame
ReplyDeletegreat news!
ReplyDeleteThose hawks are jerks, so I'm sure their kids will be jerks too.

:-) i guess the hawks pooped on '-EV's head, that's why that was said? :-)
ReplyDeleteI-)
Why don't they get a job already?
ReplyDeleteI counted six rat catches yesterday, and those are only the ones I know about. The hawks need to be put on the parks dept payroll.
ReplyDeleteI'm told the West Village around Washington Square is crowing about their own hawk community; there are also peregrine falcons in Midtown.
ReplyDeleteNature is tricky, and will reclaim her own yet.
