To the best of our knowledge this is the first nesting birds of Brooklyn this season. The female Great Horned Owl sitting in the nest while the male is guarding the nest. The exact location will not be disclosed.

I'd look: conifer in Greenwood Cemetery; or in the Quaker Cemetery within Prospect Park - where Red-shouldered Hawks nested in the early 1980s

Was there this afternoon. Female was deep in the nest, head peeking out. Must be incubating eggs.

There is also at least one nesting pair of Red-tailed Hawks. And I think there may also be a nesting pair of Merlins.

So great that you found them, and didn’t publicize their location.

I hear bird nesting sounds near a drain pipe on historic ship

. Sparrows have nested there for years.

Good for you. Disclose no more, please. They’re active around the clock at this time, so risk is increased. Thank you.
