Jersey City Eyas Flexing Her Wings
It won’t be long now before this big girl takes to the skies. She was flapping like crazy out of cam view on the west side of 101 Hudson. It looked to me like she would fly any minute. She is so big that if she keeps her wings out she will not fall hard…

Jersey City Peregrines Part III (Billion Dollar Babies)
NOTE: We learned on June 26 that the female had perished in a collision with the building at 10 Exchange Place. Torrents of rain, high winds, TWO FLEDGLINGS!! My friend, Mike, and I saw two of the young birds on Friday. They are agile. They are rambunctious. And they are alive!! Both Athena and Six…
