Pale Males house

The famous "Pale Male" and his female partner's roost.
Pale Male (born 1991) is a male Red-tailed Hawk who has made his home since the early 1990s in New York City, where he has attracted the widespread attention of birders and the press. Birdwatcher and author Marie Winn gave him his name because of his unusually light coloring. He is the first red-tailed hawk known to have nested on a building rather than in a tree and is famous for establishing a dynasty of urban-dwelling raptors (he is known to have sired at least 26 chicks, many of whom are assumed to have produced city offspring of their own).
