Pale Male [or Lola] with twig

Hope springs eternal. Today the first report of the season arrived in an e-mail from Susan Baxter:

I am a lover of Central Park and all the wildlife. Thought you would be interested in knowing that this morning on my walk to work I witnessed Pale Male or Lola fly above me by the Hawk Bench around 7:20 am with a twig in their beak which they flew to their nest with. They are already getting ready for hopefully a successful breeding season this year. Best wishes. I love your web-site.
