Falcons in Staten Island

a peregrineI’m really enjoying the accounts of wild birds my dad has been writing in his blog
We don’t get much wildlife in Brooklyn,though once I did see a fat raccoon trucking under the BQE.It scaled a chain-link fence in 2 seconds and both Bozzio and I were quite amazed.Bozzio wasn’t at all sure it wasn’t a cat.But I knew.That was 2 years ago and the most excitement since has been spotting a black squirrel in Fort Greene Park.
Check out his blog and and maybe even buy a book. His blog does lean toward political views but his books do not.
