Pale Male Still The Bird King Of Central Park

Since the early 1990s, the oddly colored red-tailed hawk named Pale Male has been spotted in and around Central Park and nesting on top of a swanky Upper East Side Manhattan high rise.
But after tenants complained about the bird’s 400-pound nest sharing their residence, it was moved.
Today Pale Male, 24, is still flying high above the park and is back in his rightful home.
Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson speaks with Vicki Croke, animal reporter for The Wild Life blog, about the distinguished bird who has lived beyond his life expectancy and continues to be a famous neighbor of Central Park.
