Free Bird's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose

New Yorkers react to the demolition of an 11-year old nest frequented by a mated pair of Red Tailed Hawks by 5th Ave Plutocrats.



..Not today, though. A hawk's nest is gone, and while in the

grand scheme it's a small thing, it still hurts. Something inspiring, humbling

and wild has been taken from the city - something that made all sorts of people

happy when they learned of it and speechless when they saw it.



The nest's destruction just seems such a shabby, cheap

thing.




...When I found out that the co-op building had removed the

nest, I started to cry.




...Like those who destroy a landmark in the middle of the

night, those responsible for destroying the nest at 927 Fifth Avenue have shown

their contempt for the city they call home.
