Karen Anne,
The...Here's John's response:<br /><br />Karen Anne,<br /> <br />The continuing annual failures of the 927 nest, following the nest removal and nest support device escapades, are still unsolved. I noted that there is a lot more material up there this year, that the nest rim, at least, is standing higher.<br /> <br />The nest now has the bulk and shape of a typical tree nest, so I would presume it could now handle winds from any direction or velocity.<br /> <br />And in honesty, my suggestion of geriatric decline of Pale Male's gametes is not well supported by the record of many very old (15 -- 25 year old) wild haggards reproducing every year.<br /> <br />Per chance, I just hope this nest succeeds this year. Its success or failure will be unexplained. Perplexing altogether (like a lot of stuff in New York City).<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /> <br />John A.
