Jacobi Medical Center, Bronx, New York

When the New York Times had information about the Riverside Hawks on their blog, someone wrote that there was a nest on the Nurse’s Residence of Jacobi Medical Center. It was a nice day on Sunday, so I made the trip out to Jacobi.

I found a nest that looked like one from a previous year, but didn’t see any hawks. It’s possible the hawks are nesting on a different section of the building and I couldn’t see them. Anyone work at Jacobi, who can take a look down at the Nurse’s Residence?

St. John Much More Active

St. John the Divine nest is much more active. While it took hours of waiting earlier this month to see a glimpse of anything, it is now common to see at least one eyass when you visit. It makes watching them a lot more enjoyable. If you’re in the neighborhood, take a detour and visit them.

Riverside Church Peregrine Falcons

I went by Riverside Church to see if the resident Peregrine Falcons had any fledglings yet. Since, I only saw the parents, I guess I was a week or two too early.

The parents were fun to watch as they weaved their way between the scaffolding.

Growing Up On The Lower East Side

The three Houston street eyasses are looking more and more mature each day. They look healthy and well attended to by their parents.

CCNY Nest Looks Unused

After learning of the City College nest on Shepard Hall, I’ve been taking a look at it ever few weeks. It appears to have been unused.

It’s unclear if the pair had prepared the nest but used an alternate site or if the nest failed for some reason.

In any case here is a recent photo of the nest. If it had eyasses in the nest, there would certainly be dirty by now!

I felt totally outwitted this evening. They looked to be going down to the stream after fly out, so I set up to watch them by the water. Instead, they came down, saw a raccoon and went off in a different direction. So, only one photograph tonight.
