Manhattan 2015 Nest Checklist Update 4

It's mid July, and all but one of Manhattan's baby red-tailed hawks have fledged from their nests. Some have even begun to successfully hunt for their own meals, or at least some of their meals.

Following is a list of the thirteen (13!) nests in Manhattan that this blog learned of, one of which we only found out about at the start of July. Twelve had hatches, with one of them on the second try of the season. A total of 26 baby hawks were observed in the nests. Of these, 24 have apparently fledged, one should fledge in about two weeks, and one died in the nest

The last nest to be noted, and which did not appear on any of the earlier checklist updates was at Grant's Tomb.

This is our fourth and last nest checklist update of the 2015 season. Background info about the twelve nests originally noted can be read here. Three previous updates appeared here (1), here (2), and here (3).
