Four chicks were born on top of Mack-Cali building (101 Hudson St)

Here’s a nice story that happened in downtown, JC and was captured on tape by a WNBC reporter: A family of Peregrine Falcons has been living on top of Mack-Cali Building. The adult falcons originally had four chicks, but only two females chicks survived.

…The two female chicks were born on top of the 41-story building overlooking the Hudson River. The objective was to remove the chicks from the nest and bring them inside. That process took only a few minutes as the scientist walked out and took cover under an umbrella as the agitated and very aggressive adult Falcons nose dived onto them like F-16 Fighter Jets…

Ever wonder what these falcons like to eat? According to the news: pigeons! And Jersey City, as we all know, has lots of ‘em! No wonder these falcons are huge!

The Peregrine Falcon chick was noisy when it was given an identification by the scientist.
