Oh no! That IS illegal!!!! so sad...I hope they can be stopped so the pair can renest. Is it too late? They did not have eggs already did they?

Hi Sally,

It isn't known if they had eggs but possibly not as they took awhile to pick their nest site.

It isn't too late for them as hawks have double clutched successfully in NYC when the first clutch failed and the second did just fine. Plenty of time to still lay now and have a successful family.
