In reply to Mindy. Yes, I don't think we'll ever know what happened to Sadie. Bobby and Sadie were so very dear to us. I know exactly how you feel. Thank you, dear Mindy.

I still keep checking back for news of Sadie…I hate to see it all come to an end like this. Bobby and Sadie were special, and I won’t forget them.

Thanks for the latest update!
If they end up having eggs, I hope the cam comes back on.

I have some ok pictures of one of them on our terrace at 1 Fifth Ave. He (or she) had a still alive rat in his talons as he stood on the parapet wall for a few minutes. The rat was squeaking up a storm, quiet raucous! If you want me to send you the pictures, I would be happy to.

In reply to Alexia.

Hi, Alexia. Sadie’s eggs have been unviable for a long time so they will eventually be destroyed and new eggs will get laid in the nest (but not necessarily in that order). My guess is Juno will keep and reuse the current nest with a new female if he stays in WSP.

I do not run the webcam and don’t have control of it (I am only providing an embedded version of it). The cam has gone dark between seasons before so it should get turned back eventually. I’ll keep linking to it as long as it exists.

Thank you, Alexia!

Sorry to be late, but do we know what happened to the three eggs Saddie had laid last month? Are they still in the nest? Might they be pushed out of the nest by other hawks to make room for new clutches? Or are old nests rarely re-used? Hypothetically speaking, could Saddie’s eggs have been adopted by another hawk? So many questions.

Roger, I am really sorry to hear about your retirement. You provided such a great service to wildlife enthusiasts, and probably inspired dozens of emerging birdwatchers in New York, myself included. Your webcam was an invaluable source of pleasure at work. You will be greatly missed, but we trust you’ll find new joy where you are.

Stay safe,

Alexia
