March 5th – observations

March 5th

location: Highline

time: 9:48

weather: 34 cloudy sky

  • little to no pigeons
    • maybe has to do with how densely populated the Highline is
    • the foliage
    • or how small it is
  • spotted a pigeon
    • it seems to be chased by a larger bird
    • the larger bird is maybe 1 1/2 the size of a pigeon or twice the size
    • I looked it up and according to the NY Times pigeons are hunted by falcons/penguins who have adapted to city life
    • the pigeon and falcon have disappeared.
  •  I had no idea that pigeons were prey in the city
    • for some reason I thought they had a good life
