Window Washers!

Thanks to Richard K, our true expert on Kinney and KathyQ, I have corrected my comments. Kinney, the male, was on the perch and KathyQ was the one flying about. I had it backwards.

It does not make KathyQ happy when her territory is invaded.



Nor does Kinney care for it, although he sticks by the eggs and watches closely.

The window washers must have some experience, they only climbed out a window half-way up the side rather than starting from the roof.


Well that was really pretty boned-headed. They used the nestbox as a device to hold their ropes in place. Fortunately their weight tugging on the ropes didn't appear to damage the box.

the window washers are only permitted to work from 25th floor and below on East side of building during nesting season. It was KathyQ doing the flying and Kinney stayed on perch all the time. Thanks for documenting the activity from street. I got some from circlecam.

haha...those guys must get paid pretty well. Not only do they have to wash windows 25 stories up, but then they get attacked by a pissed off peregrine falcon...man you couldn't pay me enough for that job!!
