The Upper West Side water-tower owl nest disturbance

  1. Update 2 sa 2PinakabagoAraw 5Pagkalipas ng 4 araw

    All seven Manhattan barn owls spotted. Will tower work wait?

    Two adults and five fledglings appear to be resting elsewhere, but some still visit their damaged water tower. A request for another week without repairs remains unresolved.

    • Brief fledgling visits to the damaged tank and activity high on another building a few blocks away were observed. At least two fledglings were seen that evening.
    • All seven birds were reported seen. A few still perched at the tower, although the family appeared to be roosting elsewhere.
    • The birds’ post-work whereabouts and condition, the nest’s condition, the precise work timeline and any protection measures remain unverified.
    • A building or contractor explanation and a dated wildlife observation or inspection could establish what happened and whether the young retain a usable nesting space.

    The owl tower’s roof is gone. What happened to the family inside?

    Construction exposed the Manhattan water tower where a rare barn owl family nested. The roof’s removal is documented; the birds’ condition and the nest’s fate are not.

    • The roof was absent in October 29 images, and NYC Bird Alliance assessed a high likelihood of disturbance to the adult pair and five or six fledglings.
    • The birds’ post-work whereabouts and condition, the nest’s condition, the precise work timeline and any protection measures remain unverified.
    • A building or contractor explanation and a dated wildlife observation or inspection could establish what happened and whether the young retain a usable nesting space.
