By HEIDI SINGER
Celebrity hawk Pale Male loves the bold-face names, and his taste in well-heeled humans seems to be improving.The city's most famous lovebird - who's expecting three hawklings with lady-bird Lola in about a month - has been blowing off his Upper East Side perch at the home of CNN anchor Paula Zahn so he can hang with tennis legend John McEnroe and legendary editrix Helen Gurley Brown on the West Side.
He and Lola have been putting on quite a show for the famously sex-positive former Cosmopolitan editor. Recently, he's been spotted doing the nasty right in front of her 22nd-floor windows, directly across from McEnroe's pad in the spectacular Beresford building on Central Park West at 81st Street.
"For the past three weeks, they were mating a lot on those windows," said hawk-watcher Lincoln Karim. "I don't know what Helen puts on those windows, but they love it."
The hawks have been spotted on the ironwork decorating the inside of Brown's windows daily all winter, he said.
"It's quite thrilling," Gurley Brown told The Post. "I need a kitty cat or a dog, that's for sure, but they're such a great responsibility. If I could have this hawk as a special pal, I would love that."
McEnroe told The Post his wife, Patty, is "a very big bird lover," adding "we're very happy to have a new tenant as long as Pale Male doesn't take one of my kids' rooms."
