You must be in the area! Hello. I checked Lincoln Karim's site, but your pictures are better! The Pale Male Blogspot calls the female Ginger Lima, so you are correct. That site was last updated April 6.
Here is the link:

Lincoln Karim's has a daily
Pale Male
picture site, with low and high res images. Click on each image, and there are lots of pictures underneath...
I agree, Bonnie, I do like Paul's better, but the daily documentation is pretty interesting, and includes other critters as well.

i have loved pale male for oh so long--i tear up just thinking about the way he
brought food to his fledgings in the trees before they could hunt for themselves
does anyone know a history of his mates or how may hatchlings he's had over the years???

When he arrived in Central Park in 1991, as a first-year immature hawk, Pale Male tried to nest in a tree, but he was driven off by crows. He later roosted on a building on Fifth Avenue across the street from the park. In early 1992, he found a mate, dubbed First Love.[1] First Love was injured later that year and removed to the Raptor Trust in New Jersey. During her absence, Pale Male took another mate, called Chocolate by birdwatchers. After several unsuccessful spring nesting attempts, Pale Male and a mate, possibly Chocolate, hatched 3 eyasses in 1995. The eyasses survived to young adulthood and took up residence in Central Park. Chocolate died later that year from injuries from a collison with a car on the New Jersey turnpike.
First Love returned to Central Park after being banded and released from the Raptor Trust. She and Pale Male reunited and raised several eyases. People in the park waited months to see the eyasses grow and then take their first flights. Pale Male was a good father, bringing food to his offspring about five times each day. In 1997, First Love died after eating a poisoned pigeon in Central Park.
Pale Male's mate from 1998 to 2001 was a hawk known as Blue. The pair were observed to hatch about 11 eyasses in that period. Blue disappeared about the time of the September 11 terrorist attack in 2001.[2]
In early 2002, Pale Male was first observed with a new mate, Lola. They raised 7 eyasses between 2002 and 2004, building a nest on ornamental stonework above a top-story window on a residential housing cooperative at 927 Fifth Avenue (at East 74th Street) on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Lola disappeared in December 2010 and is presumed dead.[3]
A new mate appeared in early January 2011. This new hawk, with the moniker "Ginger," because of her dark feathers on her neck and chin, is only in her second year. She is a young adult, with still-yellow irises, indicating her exact age. This will be ber first nesting attempt, in the winter and spring of 2011 using the existing nest. As in previous years with earlier females, Ginger should lay her first egg sometime in the last two weeks of March, with hatching (it is hoped) about a month later. Up to three eggs may be produced, although first-time nesting Red-tailed Hawks often lay only one or two eggs.[4]

Thank you, Ei, for posting this. I have been a follower/fan of Pale Male for a long time. I was appalled when the people in that building on Central Park /where ever it was, had the nest site removed. I remember following the supporters who fought to have the nest site replaced. Good for Pale Male and his mate.
I saw the trailer for that movie, but disappointed that it never did make it up here...at least, I don't think it did.

When I visited the nest site, I was amazed to see that they had begun hard incubation, because none of the Central Park nature sites had reported this.
I'd expected crowds of people with cameras and telescopes, but saw no other hawkwatchers at the Model Boat Pond. Nobody was even looking at the nest building. It felt almost eerie, given all the talk about Pale Male as avian celebrity. I suppose people had given up hope after six years of failed nestings.
All the while, Pale Male and Lima (who may actually be Ginger), were oblivious to the collective funk and just went on being redtails. There's a lesson in that.

I am still a fan of Pale Male, and I like your comment about ..."they went on being red tails...there is a lesson in that". Much wisdom here!

It's just that we have so many celebrities to watch down here. Truthfully, there are only four or five of us who really go to the bird sites. And even at the height of Pale Male's notoriety, they might only be two or three people around.
