..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.
