I WANNA SEE IT
Keep looking around Rachel. This isn't the first time the red-tailed hawks have been hanging around PS 230. Look back in my archives for a photo of the time when we saw a red-tailed hawk eating a pigeon in the tree in front of the Albemarle entrance to the school!
Hi, Ms. Seitz. Just checking on the blog. :) Blogs make me interested, so I'm going to ask my mom if I can make a blog of my own, one about birds! I don't like doing things without her permission.
Hi,Ms.Seitz.I want to ask you a question.Why do you think redtailed hawks are around P.S.230?
Hi Ms. Seitz. I just sent you a message because I'm really bored. I didn't go to school today. :( I'm stuck home with a stomach virus. I hope I'm better by tomorrow though, because tomorrow, the Urban Nature Club is going birding! :)
Hi,Ms.Seitz,this is my first time posting a comment on your blog! I was wondering why is there redtailed hawks in Brooklyn, in the winter, aren't they suppose to be hibernating? Also is there a nest with eggs of a redtailed hawk on top of P.S 230 ,our school? I agree with Sarah's question and also are redtailed hawks endangered and rare? I would like to see a redtailed hawk and it's chick, does the chick look like the adult redtailed hawk? I would really like to see redtailed hawks and their chicks! Please answer me as soon as possible!!!
Hi, Ms. Seitz. It's me, again. :)I was just working on my Egg Drop Lab Report, but took a little break by visiting your blog. I keep writing things down, but then, I think about the things we did in class today, when we looked at other kids' reports and "critiqued them." I'm trying to imagine the class is with me, and we're looking at my report, and then people take turns critiquing mine.I've been correcting everything like 5 times!I'm reading it aloud, and correcting myself, things like that. Well, I better get back to work, now.
Sorry for the late reply Tasfiya. I loved reading your message and how you are imagining yourself in class. That's soooooo great! Remember UNC party on Wednesday. Woo-hoo!
Tasfiya, you should DEFINITELY make a bird blog!
Hi Sarah: Well, red-tailed hawks are all around the area. In Greenwood Cemetery and Prospect Park. They actually nest in Prospect Park! Thanks for visiting!
Hi Sanjida: It's great to hear from you. As I said in my comment to Sarah, red-tailed hawks actually live in Brooklyn. And no, they are not endangered or anything. They don't hibernate. Or migrate. They are year-round residents of Brooklyn. If I hear of a nest in Prospect Park, I'll let you know. I think they start building in January or February. There isn't any nest on the school. The hawk was just looking for food: squirrels, pigeons, other birds. The chicks don't look like the adults. They're all fuzzy and greyish. Thanks for stopping by.
Ms. Seitz,I am glad you responded.Tasfiya was the one who encouraged me to see your blog.It is wonderful and it is full of all kinds of pictures!I am so happy Tasfiya told me about your blog.We are best friends.My parents will let me go on the bird watching trip if you let me.Will you?I hope you do.Please tell me date and time if you will let me.Please respond as quick as you can.GoodBye!!!See you on Friday
