Somebody zips by my window, I hear a bunch of chatter from upstairs and check the cam: sure enough, lunchtime!

My office has the second and third windows from the south side on the east face of the building, 10th floor. The next office has one window, and the last window to the north on the east face is our conference room. I was watching the pair on the web cams flirting when somebody dropped by, circled around and came back. They've been in and out all day, but that was the only time I saw both on the camera bowing to one another and scraping in the next box. I saved a pic of from the main camera of the bowing and scraping.

Honestly, I'm surprised that I see so much of them, considering the box is actually a ways above me. Unless they're carrying some food, they seem to come in at about my level, then veer upwards to the box. When they head out they sometimes drop past my windows. I've also noted differences in their calls. They seem to chatter more when they get all flirty.

A lot of dancing and bowing to one another right now. Ooh, there goes somebody by the window. Things are heating up.

They're both restless this morning, flying in and out, stopping at the base of Mercury, flying out as far as the Chase Tower (then my eyes fail me, any suggestions on a good scope?), following each other and so on.

Within seconds of typing that things have been quiet today and hitting "Post" someone flew right past me to the nest box.

Thanks for the kind words of welcome. In fact, it is hard to get work done. On more than one occasion I've been meeting with a client when suddenly one of the falcons swoops by the window!

I've been following the nest box for over ten years. I was on the 17th floor of the First Federal Building until 2000, and I remember one one of the first groups to fledge playing with a pigeon over the river, taking turns diving and swooping at it. I also remember sitting in my office and watching as bits of bird went falling past as one of them liked to sit and eat right above my office. Every now and then I see the same thing outside my window here, but not to the same extent. What's fun is to look at the sidewalk in front of the Times Square Building and see the leftovers of what was on today's menu.

It's been a quiet day today, though I've been in Court for most of the day and haven't been in my office.
 

I’m on the 10th floor of the Times Square Building and my office faces east, so I have a great view of their comings and goings. Yesterday I got to my office at around 9:00 and there was quite a bit of activity for the following few hours; I saw a group of watchers on the Broad Street bridge. Today they’ve been flying in and out, making quite a racket. Right now they’re sitting on Mercury, one on the head the other at the base.

When they fly to the next box they always seem to zoom right by my windows. Once in a while it looks as if they’re headed straight at me, then veer up at the last second, giving me a great show. Other times I see them carrying in a meal. Hard to believe they can fly while holding a pigeon.
