2012-10-25 Thread Bombshell Rehab
My little Brooklyn garden is VERY active right now with a large roving flock of WTSP, PISI, HOFI, in addition to the residents...foraging on weeds that have gone to seed (sometimes being lazy pays off!) Most activity I've seen all fall. But mostly, I wanted to mention that there was one

What I assume was the male was present at around 3:45pm today (Friday), perching on the dead tree across the road from the supposed nest area, soaring, and carrying nesting material. Lost sight of him when he entered the denser trees next to the parking lot. -Ania Subject: Re:

I accidentally sent this email yesterday from the wrong address so it didn't make it through. It is below, but in addition I wanted to add that I just saw 2 svelte raptors mating high up on the Brooklyn Detention Center on Atlantic Ave. Based on silhouette and plumage, my guess is they were
