        NEW YORK - Two red-tailed hawks whose temporary eviction from the ledge 
of a luxury apartment building sparked angry protests were seen roosting in 
their restored nesting area, the New York Audubon Society said.

        Scaffolding that was used to install a new specially designed nest was 
removed Tuesday, and Pale Male and Lola were spotted sitting in the Manhattan 
structure at about noon, the organization said on its Web site. They were then 
seen taking twigs to the nest. 


        The hawks' original nest, which had been on a 12th-floor window ledge 
of the building on Fifth Avenue and 74th Street since 1993, was taken down on 
Dec. 7 after residents of the building complained that it was a health and 
safety hazard. 


        For a week after the birds were evicted, bird-lovers gathered outside 
the building, which counts actress Mary Tyler Moore and CNN anchor Paula Zahn 
among its residents. 


        The co-op board gave in to the protesters' demands on Dec. 16 and 
agreed to let the birds return with a nest designed for safety.
