To get away from the Fisher 21 building photos for a minute, I want to show a photo from 3-17-2009 of the New Center Area. This is down East Grand Blvd. We are looking down past the former building where the ACLU was housed (now moved to Wayne State University area, down past the 8 story building, now Detroit Police Service Center, formerly a State building, and before that an office building and before that a 4 story Model T factory, which had more floors added onto it. Past that we see the Fisher Building and Cadillac Place, formerly the GM building. Here a pair of Falcons sit waiting to devour thousands of birds each year. They nest have baby falcons, fly off and some winning pair returns. To sit in this flight path and munch on Mc Birdies of all sizes and shapes. It's amazing to watch them when they are flying.
One year a Falcon attacked a turkey vulture. Turkey vultures often fly along and high above other birds in the migratory path in the hundreds and even thousands of them being seen and recorded. So the falcons attacked some poor Turkey vulture, because they felt it a threat to the little falcon chicks. And someone found this poor Turkey vulture walking around the streets of Detroit with a damaged wing, unable to fly. A bird sanctuary had the bird for a while. It's bad enough being a vulture, but to be a wounded one in Detroit is the pits.
