Those hawks had lived there for something like nine years! Sad to hear about this kind of thing happening. I mean, if Mary Tyler Moore couldn't stop it, ya know nobody could.

Let's hope the hawks relocate to a better place.

it said it was a hazard, so they removed it

it bears made a cute little 50 sq ft nest under your back deck and left carcasses, I'm sure you'd want them out too

They had been there for 9 years! They could find some way to coincide with the hawks. C'mon, bears are a bit of a different story, don't you think?

yes,I was trying to be rediculous

truly it is known that we're encroaching on animals' habitats, but that's just life and the nature of us humans...always will be

in hindsight, they should have removed the nest years ago so that the hawks wouldn't have been there for a decade...in the hawks' best interests

I can't help but think that the urban environment was no place for the hawks. I saw some of the documentary awhile ago and people seemed to enjoy observing the hawks. But with partial carcasses and pieces of the nest falling to the sidewalk below, I can't help but think that it is not a good idea to have them there.
I'd hate to have hawk doo doo fall on my head, I don't think I'm alone on that point.

It shows nothing but the contempt for nature of these arrogant, yuppie bastards. The part mentioning the Cadillac Escalades is really what fires me up... these vehicles represent everything that is wrong with North American culture. I apologize for the rant, but things like this truly fire me up.
And what about the part that mentions that the nest "*may* have violated city regulations." That too, is sickening. Honestly, there is no good reason to do what what done other than disrespect.

Humanity's contempt for nature will be humanity's undoing.

No, I don't apologize for the rant.

I think while all the rich co-op owners were there watching the nest down, someone should have went to their homes and plowed them down!! Overall what they did was a real shame!

Amen JJ. I think I would quite school and work if a hawk family bilt a nest outside of my window. All I would do is just msit and watch and take notes and just marvel.

On a related note my moms friend put their family canaries on the deck for some air and sun while she cleaned. About a half an hour later she happens to glance on the deck and finds an ADULT redtail standing ontop of the cage grasping at the helpless birds! One died as a result from a severe scratch. She (the friend) has pictures of her husband standing a foot away from the hawk, this hawk was DETERMINED to have a canary snack and didnt leave for another two hours.

I myself found this absolutley amazing, I would have brought in the birds and tossed him a rat, that would be so breathtaking.

She was furious, and was extremely upset, but I think most people overlookl nature and the inteligience and resourcefullness of her species.


As for the corporate bastards, you better not let me find you.

I hope you guys build a new nest in a better neighbor hood Pale Male and Lola, Best of luck.

I guess people forget that we have to SHARE the earth with other animals, we can't own everything.
