An appeal to readers: Help prevent other hawk nests from being wantonly destroyed like Pale Male and Lola's was in December 2004

Brent Plater of The Center for Biological Diversity in San Francisco is trying to get evidence that will help revoke or change the ill-fated 2003 memorandum -- MBPM-2 of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service -- that allowed the management of 927 Fifth Ave to legally take down Pale Male & Lola's nest last December. If you know of any other cases where raptor nests and other birds' nests were destroyed on the strength of this memorandum, this would help strengthen the case he is preparing. Please contact him.
