Yes that is precisely why it’s so incredible the Peregrine Falcons have made New York City their home. We live in “modern” buildings and streets of concrete, but the falcon loves it here because of abundant prey all year round in any kind of weather. I was watching a David Attenborough Planet Earth special on Cities, and he devoted part of the program to the Peregrine Falcons of NYC. Thanks Roger_Paw so much for reading and writing. Carlene

It really was a tremendous day. There are raptors all around the park and city in general but it’s always a treat to see one. They are such a contrast to the ‘modern’ sights of buildings, sidewalks, and street lamps, etc.

Hi, the scaffolding is still away from the nest and is secured to a different facade now. Yes, the Hawks will start to retorfiy the nest with more frequency starting in January. That is what I have observed every year.

Thanks! It’s really difficult to track Cooper’s Hawks because they will rise then drop down a bit then rise again sometimes before landing. It’s a fun challenge for me though. They are so fun to watch.
