The 12-story co-op at 927 Fifth Avenue, near 74th Street, contains ten full-floor and duplex apartments, occupied by ten families. In the early 1990s, though, it gained an unofficial 11th: Pale Male, a red-tailed hawk that nested atop an ornate lintel on the building’s top floor. Pale Male, hatched in 1990 and given his name by local birders for his light-colored plumage, nested there for many years with a series of mates until he died on Tuesday at age 33.
