Pale Male, the famous Manhattan red-tailed hawk who called the concrete jungle home for more than three decades, died late Tuesday.
The hawk had built a nest on a 12th-floor ledge of a swanky Fifth Avenue apartment building and the co-op board had removed the nest after holding a vote. However, outrage swelled among New Yorkers — including actor Mary Tyler Moore who lived in the building — and the board quickly reversed its decision, adding a new metal “cradle” on the ledge to hold a nest.
He added that Pale Male’s acclaim “shows that even in an intensely urban place like Manhattan, there are many people who have a fondness for wildlife and feel a connection to it.” “It seems unlikely to me that the most famous red-tailed hawk of all time would also be the longest lived,” freelance naturalist Gabriel WillowAnother birder told the newspaper he thinks Pale Male has been dead “probably for a decade” and it was one of his many offspring who was found ill in Central Park.
