Thank you for the update.  I've been hoping that all is well with that fine
feathered pair.

I hope they take to their original nest again.

Litterbox offerings and birdie droppings to the people who had the nest
removed in the first darned place.

You'd think that people would WANT hawks to nest in NYC, to the point
where they'd be IMPORTING breeding pairs of hawks. That's the one way I
can think of to keep the population of pigeons in some sort of natural
balance: bring in some of the pigeons' natural predators and let them do
the job properly.

No offense to pigeons, which I actually like. But overpopulation of
pigeons helps no one, including the pigeons themselves. And I'd rather see
hawks keeping the population in check naturally, instead of anything that
humans could devise to artifically control their population.

Well, a lot of us do.  And there *are* more hawks around NYC-- PM and
Lola are just particularly visible, because they chose to nest on a
ritzy building on Fifth Avenue.

Oh, they are definitely back.  They are rebuilding their big ol' messy
nest on the platform that's been put there for them.

I  believe they said it had at least not been rejected, so I think that they
may go back to it.
