On the look-out for the pair of Common Ravens frequently seen along the Upper Harbor coast of Brooklyn, I spotted what I think is a new Osprey nest at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, between Industry City and the water. They can be seen from 35th Street and 2nd Avenue (with bins). Nest is atop one of the very tall light towers on the parking lot -- I think this is still NYC Economic Development Corporation property, inaccessible to civilians. Both birds were visible up there through chain-link fencing. One of them was also transporting nesting materials.
They overlook Gowanus Bay. I hope they fly farther than that for food!
