Title: Downtown Watch Locations Post by: KathJensen on 24-Jun-22, 02:35:01 PM I am wondering where the best spot is to watch the falcons in downtown. I'd like to take my binoculars and watch esp. when the eyas start testing their own wings.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Several traditional viewing locations are in or near construction zones. The are also issues with crime. It might be a good idea to make arrangements to go with an experienced falcon watcher rather than go alone.

When the fledge watch starts, that will change. Our watching area is under heavy construction right now, so we'll have to figure out where the best spots are to park and watch. If you want to check out the area, I would do it on a weekend when there is less traffic. The Court ST Bridge is a nice view of the whole area. We have watchers that prefer it there. It's near the Dinosaur Bbq. Be very careful and aware of your surroundings. When the fledge watch starts, we would love to have you join us. It will be announced here.

We've just started the fledge watch. So far we've been ok on Aqueduct St, which we call the hole. It is directly across from the Times Square Bldg. I will be there early morning to afternoon. Other watcher come late afternoon to evening. You and anyone else are welcome to join us! I think they'll be fledgling very soon. |
