Robyn Hills here. Long post alert!
Thanks for your patience everyone, and for your support.
Rules of Engagement for this page - please be mindful to make helpful suggestions and comments.
About six weeks ago, we asked for help with suggestions and ideas about being able to live harmoniously with our neighbours and the peregrine falcons. We received loads of help and connections from around the world and locally. Thank you all.
There was a meeting on the weekend of the concerned parties.
On cue, Emily appeared minutes beforehand to check on proceedings!
Several of the building unit owners are still very much against having the falcons continue to nest on the building, as it affects their balconies with debris, leftover meals and droppings, which I understand is not pleasant. People are also concerned about theirs and their children's safety during breeding season.
Apart from the obvious that they are protected by law, it is still a matter of doing our best to compromise so that there is as little animosity as possible between the dwellers.
It was agreed that we could have a new nesting box. The experts advice is that the planters boxes need to be covered to discourage nesting there, and hopefully pointing them in the right direction to the dedicated box. This will be placed on the highest roof, facing away from the open balconies, in an attempt to minimise the impact of the falcons on the residents.
Need to get some engineering and designs, and get it built and up, in plenty of time for nesting season.
I know that they may reject the nesting box, but it was a compromise I offered to help both parties.
It was quite confronting for me to be labelled an 'Animal Lover' (said with the venom of a snake!) but I have to stand up for what I believe in and do what I think is the right thing to do. As nature cannot speak for itself, I've elected to be their voice. Possibly that's why they chose our balcony in the first place!

[Have a great day!]

Have a great day!

[In recent years, a peregrine falcon nest site has been just beneath the wings of the building’s roof.]

Whatever they symbolize, the Wings of Progress have long been a recognizable and definitive piece of the Rochester skyline. In recent years, a peregrine falcon nest site has been just beneath the wings of the building’s roof. Just last year, the wings were illuminated again, as they were when the building first opened.
