Junior and Charlotte

Sunset, June 9, 2005,
The Trump Parc, 35th floor

Pale Male Junior coming in for a landing,
Charlotte waiting for a break, the two chicks fine
but too little to be visible by viewers and cameras below.

PS. This is one of the best photos of the achitectural ornament upon which the nest sits. There is a row of 7 of them on the 36th floor of the building, and 4 on the floor below. The nest is on the southernmost of the four. I've been trying to find a name for this kind of ornament, and after much searching in a variety of reference books I've concluded that it is a CORBEL. [Please send in alternative names if you are knowledgeable about this kind of thing.]
