Palemale hunting in Central Park, Wednesday evening.
The third and last baby of Palemale is most likely dead.We have not seen this last baby in several weeks now. There is a report that a baby hawk was picked up by NYPD in Central Park and taken to Animal Medical Center last week where it died. Details are secretive and scant. The hawk we all love so much has lost his entire family this year. His first two babies, although rescued and alive may as well be dead because they will be released somewhere other than their home. Wherever they are released will be out of our eyesight and when they die no one will know.
I live in just about the greatest city in the world and I would not want to live anywhere else. I truly love New York City. But this city is just about the phoniest place on earth. The main attractions to NYC are some of the biggest let downs in the world. Times Square and all the other big attractions are phony. Almost the entire city is one grand tourist trap, and sooner or later tourists will smarten up and stop coming here.
By then we would have lost all our commerce, all our character and worst of all we would have lost all our already scanty wildlife.
The city is filthy, and pesticides are our leaders' choice for fixing the problem. Poison as a quick fix is costing us the lives of our wildlife--the one saving grace we have to remind us of who we are.
When we forget who we are we will be lost forever.

It seems like the disappearance of Zena at the time we all missed her was in fact real and that the companion which we saw in the nest with him recently is a brand new mate.
