Yikes.[eek] I've read about the JC hawks. From what I understand, they're adapting quite well to city life. From the looks of the picture, I'd have to agree.

 

Apparently this is a picture of my fine feathered friend taken a few months ago on the same building..

Wow that's pretty crazy. I thought hawks would only eat the breasts out of other birds though. I've seen pheasants after a hawks had it's fill and that's all that was gone was the breasts.

 

[eek][eek]

 

I watched two young Red Tails getting their butts kicked by crows this morning while I took my shower. I saw one of them take down a songbird this summer while walking to my car, he came right down and went through the hedge and come out the other side with a bird in his talons. Pretty cool stuff.

 

[eek]

Peregrin Falcons use a number of tall buildings and bridges as nesting sites in Jersey City. Check out the Peregrin webcam on NJDEP FWS website.

You couldn't pay me to go live back in that area!

I lived on Cottage street for awhile and now own a home on the corner of Van Reypen street near the new Culinary School building. The closest land mark you would know is the VIP dinner.

Had a redtail in my neighbors yard munchin on a squirrel.

 

Suger,

I grew up in Rhinebeck NY, (Dutchess County), lived several years in Galilee and Point Judith RI, then a few years in Manhattan, and for the last 10 or so in JC.

32 years i lived in UC, took my hunter ed class at the jersey city armoury. learned how to fish @ Hundon county park and hunt @ sawmill, secuacaus AND trained my brittany on wild phansants in meadowlands.

 

Us hudson county boys should start a hunt/fish club

 

Air conditioner hawk is cool.

Same here. [up]

 

jc is it work that keeps you there ?

Yes...for the past ten years I have worked within two path stations from my where I lived. No real commute whatsoever. (Also the fishing in the river is pretty good !!)

Now that I have a decent house with two car parking, a dedicated gun room etc, life is much better than living in a small studio type apartment as I used to. (Only so many guns and fishing rods you can fit into one closet!![rofl] )

Amazing, all of the above for me(even the Brit)also, except I was in JC not UC but right on the border. WOW, what memories of the meadows! I'm a bit older than you but apparently the hunting was still good after I left in 94.

 

Hey Twowitken, I misread your post. I thought you were 32. I realize you lived there for 32 years. Maybe I'm not older than you. Could have seen you out in the meadows. When did you hunt out there and did you go out off Seacaucus Rd.?

 

Cool pics!! [up][up]
