The New York Times has the winning name for the Red-tailed Hawk of Gramercy Park: Ruggles. For Samuel B. Ruggles, who bought the property from the heirs of James Duane.
It was the most suggested name, said Arlene Harrison, a trustee of Gramercy Park and president of the Gramercy Park Block Association, who ran the contest and announced the winner this week. “They took it very seriously,” she said. “They did research.” Children wrote in from camp and people were constantly stopping her on the street.
The red-tailed hawk is probably between one and two years old, based on its markings, and is still looking for a mate. It has eaten a lot of pigeons, residents report, and perhaps even squirrels. Ruggles is currently on leave from the park, as it seems to disappear for a few weeks periodically.
Article goes on to mention Pale Male and his heirs as well as to provide a list of some of the other names suggested.
