Curbed.com has a list of tenants of the building...including Mary Tyler Moore and Paula Zahn (whose husband just happens to be president of the co-op board).

This made me so fucking mad.

For the record, that Mary Tyler Moore was very vocal in defending the hawk's nest. She said she was one of the only people at the co-op board meeting who didn't vote for the nest to be removed.

If you like the hawks, I'm pretty sure there's one in Prospect Park who had chicks some time this year. I was watching a bunch of smaller hawks flying around while a larger one occasionally left the tree to circle around them. The smaller ones kept crying out in that sound effect they always use in commercials and TV shows to show that someone's stranded in the desert. Something like kee-er!

Apparently they objected to the occasional mangled pigeon carcass on their balconies. Chill out, rich people!

The truely ironic thing is in order to destroy the nest they had to take down the anti-pigeon wires down, thus creating larger inconvience.

I hope these rich mo-fo's get what is coming to them. Pigeon shit. That's what i meant. I hope that comes to them.

You guys are too kind. Everyone knows that hawks eat babies. You want a bunch of baby eaters living in your building?

Now that you mention it, today is bring-your-screaming-uncontrollable-brats-to-work-day at my office. I've closed my door, but that's no refuge from the howling and shrieking of the swarming little creatures. I would like a nice baby-eating hawk flying round the office right now.

Hey, Pale Male, you want to earn a few holiday bucks?

I used to love stopping by those huge telescopes in the park that the serious bird-watchers had, trained on the hawks nest. Occasionally I would see him scaring the shit out of pigeons in the park. I've seen some peregrine falcons there as well.
I hate stories like these. Brandon makes an excellent point. They are now going to be inundated with pigeon shit.
Well, these haws have to resettle somewhere. Let's hope they don't leave the city for good. That would badly suck.

predator - prey relationship

You know New York City through the early 1900's used to have a thriving owl population. The owls would in turn eat pigeons and rats, thus keeping the populations in check. But because of development and general fear of owls, which led to people killing them off, the owl is now mostly extinct in New York city.... the subsequent pigeon and rat poulation explosion is evident still today in NYC.

Thank you environmental history class.
