Grundy Park in Jersey City doesn’t just hold an attraction for people who want a spectacular view of Lower Manhattan. Peregrine falcons also find it the best place to live in the metro NYC area . The two surviving male fledglings, Buzz and Frank, who started out at 101 Hudson on May 3, 2012, are expanding their flying and eating space. Residents in the buildings won’t have to look at dead pigeon carcasses outside their windows for much longer. In about four weeks, the adults will give the kids the boot.
