There were 2 other nest boxes at KP. One was on Building 59 which was demolished, so it got taken down and presumably destroyed.
The nest box is gone, but B-59 is still standing. There is speculation that the B-83 and B-59 nest boxes were taken down as part of the preparation for the demolition of several nearby buildings in 2006-7. If falcons had moved into either of the nest boxes, they would have been inside the blast zone. As for the two nest boxes, someone should walk up to the top of the stairwells of B-59 and B-83. I wouldn't be surprised if the nest boxes were still there tucked into a corner. There is yet another nest box at the top of the stairway at the HSBC bldg (Downtown). We saw it when we went up to the roof to get a look at the Midtown Plaza rain gutter where Archer and Mariah were exhibiting nesting behaviour. Sheesh, so many....I'll put one on my house!   I think that would only work if you had the tallest house in the neighborhood taller than the trees too. I know BC but it would make some nice cover for the Winter birds! |

Jack o’ Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.
Who knew?
ME!!!  Oh Bobbie, of course you knew! Sure and Begorrah! (Now send me the phonetic pronunciation of "Samhain".) IDK How does she do it?? (How do you do it, in fact?!) Non of the Irish words are as they appear! That make sense? Only if you speak Irish...  Ok, I'm suppose to be painting...NOT! |
