quick summary:

a red-tailed male hawk that has formed a nest on one of the high-rises
next to central park, has become a local attraction, with a dedicated
set of fans keeping track of its various movements, from its attacks on
pigeons and other birds to its mating successes. PBS even dedicated an
entire hour to the predator. recently the building assn's decision to
evict the bird (and its brood i presume) has sparked angry protests and
vigils from the fans. the last i heard, some truce has been reached and
the nest is expected to be back in business.
