I have been checking on the red-tailed hawk nest in Riverside Park the past three weeks, but the only day that there was much to see, the light was terrible. But given when it seemed first egg might have been laid, right now is time to monitor the nest to see if there's been a hatch. Unfortunately, the trees have all leafed out, so sightlines are a mess.
Nevertheless, I did catch the female moving about on a very nice Tuesday afternoon about 4:00.
She was up and down a couple times about 15 minutes apart, perhaps checking the skies to see if the male was bringing food. Nope. She did look down into the nest a couple times suggestively, and did not seem to do any egg-rolling. So... maybe?
