Central Park Birds of Prey

Central Park in New York City is a famous urban sanctuary for magnificent hawks and birds of prey.

These are pictures of Central Park red-tailed hawks, Pale Male the famous Central Park NYC red-tailed hawk, Cooper's hawks, and other raptors.

The best places to see these majestic birds of prey hunting or nesting are the Ramble, the Sheep Meadow, the Great Lawn, and above Conservatory Water at 927 Fifth Avenue where Pale Male had his nest and where Octavia continues to nest.

Although focused on Central Park sightings, this gallery also includes a few photos of birds in flight captured in the New York area.
