While locals at 86th and West End report hearing and seeing the Peregrine Falcons early in the morning, when I’ve been going in the late afternoon it’s become much harder to find them.
On Monday afternoon, I had two fledglings on a water tank two blocks from the eyrie. The water tank is atop 160 West 86th Street, which is between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues.
Later, I had one fledgling on top of 535 West End Avenue being harassed by a Northern Mockingbird.
