A peregrine falcon perched on a beam at the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York Harbor Wednesday while another falcon soared through the air nearby. The bridge is home to a pair of the birds and their chicks. (Patrick Cashin/Metropolitan Transportation Authority)

This is beautiful! The setting sun shone down Manhattan’s 42nd Street late Monday in the biannual event known as �Manhattanhenge,� when the setting sun aligns itself with the city’s east-west grid and shines down all gridded streets at the same time.

Just catching up on my newspaper reading, and the NY Post  (Thursday June 2 edition) has an article about Falcon Chciks hatch atop city bridges:   says that a bunch of Pefa Chicks have hatched across the bridges.  Article continues that 76  nesting pairs live across the state  (NY) and 20 pairs live on the cliffs in the Adirodacks!    So Pefas make the news in the New York Post!
