Sad news-Lincoln and Roger_Paw's blogs today say that the female seen since Aug. 20th with Pale Male is not Zena who has been missing for quite a while now.  The new female (if he choses her for a mate) would be Pale Male's 3rd in a year (Lima, Zena and ?) and his 8th total.

Oh man, but it does prove what a great survivor Pale Male has been over time.

This is sad news.

That's not good.

Are they that positive it's still the original Pale Male?

He has a new mate now. It's not Zena. This is pretty sad

It's not confirmed that the 3rd fledgling has died that I know of.  Lincoln writes of a young hawk that was picked up in Central Park that died and said it could be Pale Male's.  The last time it was seen was on Aug. 17th, by Jeff Johnson, who took several pics of Opera Star that day and it was healthy.  It's my understanding that fledglings move further out of the area as their skills progress, like Rosie and Bobby's have, so OS might not be seen now. I hope that's the reason for no recent sightings. The whole thing with this secondary rodenticide poisoning is heartbreaking.

(this should be merged with the Pale Male topic)

[nanguz]

Sorry. I didn't see the other topic as I was very distraught.

[Shaky]

Merged.

I received this email today from the organization that has put up the petition to stop the use of rat poison in Central Park that's killing the RTH's. Please call tomorrow!


First, I want to thank each and every-one of you for supporting and signing this petition!

I want to let you know that the Central Park Conservancy is not using poison at this time.

That is the good news.

However, the bad news is, since this petition was launched, we unfortunately now have strong reasons to believe that Pale Male’s third baby “Opera Star� and Pale Male’s mate, Zena, have been poisoned and died.

As you know, these latest poisoning come on top of the awful discovery that Pale Male's and Zena's first two offspring were so ill, they had to be rescued from the vicinity of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While in rehab, they tested positive for super toxic rat poisons. Despite the serious harm the rodenticide has caused, The American Museum of Natural History and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, still refuse to stop using it.

We are now issuing a call to action:
Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 12, 2012, please make a call to both these institutions and let them know that you are very concerned about their use of rat poison and urge them to use alternative methods. There are solar garbage cans, rodent proof cans, and other sanitation control methods that would resolve the problem.

Just one phone call can help save all the Hawks in Central Park. Please make these two calls on Wednesday. If each of us pitch in, our voices will be heard.

If all you receive is a voice mail, please leave a message.(They keep disconnecting their numbers, but the main ones still work).
Thank you for your concern and willingness to help stop these needless deaths.
Save the Hawks...Stop the Poison!

WOW!! I'll call!  I'm glad one of them stopped using the poison but it's not enough. Sheesh, don't they get it?  MNH, hello? Preserve what they have but kill what's outside their doors. I don't get it. Hope they change their minds.
