The hawk gained fame nesting above Fifth Avenue for three decades with a succession of mates.
Pale Male, a red-tailed hawk who brought a touch of the wild to swanky Manhattan as he nested above Fifth Avenue for three decades, has died.
Pale Male, so named because of his whitish plumage, was first spotted in Central Park as a juvenile in 1991 and began nesting on Fifth Avenue across from the park in 1993. The co-op board, which had voted to remove the nest as a hazard, quickly reversed itself and restored a row of anti-pigeon spikes that the hawks had used to anchor their nest, and even added a new metal "cradle" on the ledge. Pale Male and Lola rebuilt their nest.
David Barrett, who runs birding Twitter accounts including Manhattan Bird Alert, said that for much of Pale Male's life "he was not only the world's most famous red-tailed hawk, but he was probably the world's most famous bird, one that people knew by name."
