Look at the 3-week-old hawklets high above Avenue A



Here are the three baby hawks nesting 12th floors above Avenue A on the Ageloff Towers between East Third Street and East Fourth Street…



The photos come courtesy of James and Karla Murray … Christo and Dora's offspring are roughly three weeks old now… (The Two Hawks NYC site has some good nest shots from yesterday.)

Meanwhile, here's a view from Avenue A via Bobby Williams …



… and a bonus shot of Christo taking a break nearby on the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer on East Third Street…

As always, check out Gog in NYC for more on the hawks (and falcons!).

And you can keep tabs on the hawks via the Avenue A Hawk Cam.

Breaking (heh) news: The hawks of Tompkins Square Park are officially parents

Hawk (and egg) watch continues on Avenue A, now with the help of a live webcam

Christo and Dora are parents! (Again!)

  1. I remember reading that the Christadora House people who owned the air conditioner upon which last years' nest (which was much larger)was built put up spikes because the Christadora House was going to be covered in netting while the hawks were young.
    I don't see any netting or scaffolding going up around the Christadora House....

  2. For the minority great joy in hawks while the majority are bushwhacked by rats in TS Park.

  3. first comment, the netting will probably come in the fall months, these things are always delayed for whatever reason, permits, contractor scheduling, this is NYC.

  4. There is scaffolding all around Christodora. Are you blind?

  5. All I can say in regards to the new tenants at Ageloff (other than, welcome hawkies), is; walk on the east side of Ave A this summer.
