NEW YORK, DEC. 15. Two celebrated red-tailed hawks whose eviction from their nest atop a chic Manhattan building sparked protests from bird-watchers will be allowed to rebuild their home in the same spot. The New York City Audubon Society said architects hired by the building's cooperative board had developed nesting area designs that could get the birds back. But despite the agreement on Tuesday, all was not calm outside 927 Fifth Avenue. An advocate for the two hawks was arrested and charged with harassing the CNN TV anchor, Paula Zahn, who lives in the building, and her husband and two young sons. Lincoln Karim, 43, was arrested as he prepared to lead a demonstration outside the building, on behalf of Pale Male and its mate, Lola. Mr. Karim, a video engineer for Associated Press Television News, has devoted a lot of time and thousands of dollars worth of equipment to record the hawks. The police described four incidents in which he angrily approached either Ms. Zahn; her husband, Richard Cohen; or their two sons, outside the building. Mr. Cohen is the president of the building's board. The two hawks who have been the subject of a book and at least two television documentaries, have remained nearby in Central Park since their nest was removed. The new design will feature a guardrail around the 12th-floor window cornice to address safety concerns. While there was no guarantee what Pale Male and Lola would do, it was expected that they would rebuild their nest at the same spot. — AP
