The nesting situation for the red-tailed hawks at St. John the Divine gets ever more confusing.
Approaching the nest late Monday afternoon, I could see a hawk perched just outside the nest. Getting close, it looked like the bird was comfortable being there.
Looking around casually.
But wait. What color is that bird's tail?
The hawk took off, circled around over Morningside Park twice and returned to the nest.
Yes, that is definitely a brown, striped tail. This is a year-old bird and not one of the cathedral adults.
After another minute or so of looking around, the young hawk was back in the air and flying off toward central Harlem.
So where were the cathedral adult red-tails?
