Pale Male
Pale Male (hatched in 1990) is a red-tailed hawk who has resided since the 1990s in and near New York City's Central Park. Birdwatcher and author Marie Winn gave him his name because of the unusually light coloring of his head. (Some observers may instead write his name as one word, Palemale.) He is one of the first red-tailed hawks known to have nested on a building rather than in a tree and is known for establishing a dynasty of urban-dwelling red-tailed hawks. Each spring, bird watchers set up telescopes alongside Central Park's Model Boat Pond to observe his nest and chicks at 927 Fifth Avenue. Although it has been suggested that over the years that Pale Male could have died and been replaced by a similarly colored bird without the change being observed, there is no strong evidence to confirm or deny this possibility.
