   Oh well!

Did the DEC board up the windows are did the private owners?  When did this happen?
What will happen now to Doc and Pigott, but what will happen to Beauty if they now  invade downtown?

Lots of question, the last 2 unanswerable.

Whoever boarded up the scrape it was done with the permission of the owner and the DEC, and it was done for the safety of falcons and humans alike.

Margaret - I suspect the DEC has been in discussion with the owners. It is an unprotected building meaning humans can gain illegal access.  It is a dangerous site inside and out, with much debris including broken windows and glass. The owners and building maintenance are trying to maintain security and routinely block entrances to keep intruders out. The location where the falcons were frequenting & where watchers thought to be a scrape was not a good situation for eggs or eyases. I assume it was boarded up this morning for the safety of the birds.

P&DC will get along fine, they are still mating and may find a better location or they may not have a successful nest site this year. As for DT...we watch and see.

I'm glad the BS potential scrape was boarded up.  I was concerned about any ayases that might hatch in that space.  I wish it could have been done earlier, before the action really began.  Hopefully Pigott will decide the cubby will work.
