Thank you! I’m all for the public emailing NYU and telling them how important the Hawks are to them. I know that it is encouraging to me when I read everyone’s nice sentiments about the Hawks in these comments. Yes, responsibilities this week are tying me up but it’s fine. It is making me appreciate the company of the Hawks all the more. 🙂

If construction is as “fast” as the road work they did below the nest, we will need to get out our patience chant! I sure wish patience was one of my best characteristics… LOL Thank you for continuing to keep us informed regarding what is happening with the work and scaffolding on the building where the hawk nest is. If you think letters or calls from faithful watchers, I would be glad to help. Perhaps those in charge of the work would be more reassuring if they understand that the hawk nest gets viewers from all over the country and the world. I live in Augusta, Maine and am housebound, so really count on this nest and videos of what happens there, as well as your wonderful pictures giving us a look at the outside world both when the chicks are in the nest and when the fledglings are discovering the world outside their nest. I receive not only entertainment from watching the hawks and their nest, but receive a lot of education regarding what hawk family life is like. I’m sure there are many of us who count on peering into the nest because we have no ability to get out and about ourselves. Thanks again for your wonderful work and beautiful pictures.

Hoping whatever is keeping you away from the hawks will be resolved soon. Take care….

Very cute imagery, Jeanne. I have never pet a squirrel but I’m sure it’s amazing.

Thank you! I have not seen the Hawk article but I will check it out, thanks!

The permit is set to expire March, 2019. It could end sooner, it could get extended. Such is the nebulous beauty of NYC construction work (sarcasm!). 🙂

Thanks for the dramatic photo and update, Roger.
