Corrections:
There were three Triborough nestlings. One died and the other two went through rehab.
You have Prospect and Green-Wood reversed. Green-Wood had three nestlings and one died June 8 or 9. AFAIK, Prospect just had two and they are both okay.
Why the question marks after Highbridge and 79th St.? And if ever a location deserved a question mark, Seventh Ave. is it. Although you could also tag CCNY that way, too.
Thanks for the corrections. As for Highbridge, 79th St. and CCNY, its still not clear if these failed nest attempts were re-tried in other locations that have yet to be discovered.

hello,
I linked to your blog because I am a raptor fan. I live near Prospect Park and just love seeing the Red Tails swooping over the Long Meadow.
Your photographs are terrific - you must spend a ton of time searching out these birds! True dedication.
Thank you for looking at my knitting. I do love it. It has completely redefined my life. If you really want some of those mitts, it can be arranged...
