What's with Charlotte and Junior?

Sally Seyal of Prospect, Kentucky, a website correspondent, sent me a note a few weeks ago wondering why there was no news about Junior and Charlotte. I wrote to a few of the Central Park South hawkwatchers and was waiting for more complete reports. I'll post some of their replies when they come in. Now here's a reassuring note from Bruce Yolton:

Bruce Yolton writes:

The Central Park South hawks are doing just fine. They are hard to photograph and study this time of year, so most of the hawk watchers spend their time with Pale Male and Lola or the number of "floaters" seen this time of year.

The Central Park South hawks like the very tall buildings along Central Park South, Central Park West and into the city a few blocks. This time of year they are usually seen as little specs on top of these tall buildings.

Come late winter and early spring, we'll see them more frequently and you will see some reports.

I have been reporting about them. My last photographs are from November. On my site, [www.urbanhawks.blogs.com] scroll down to the Categories section on the left panel, and click on C.P.S Red-tailed Hawks.
