纽约州纽约市上西区水塔仓鸮巢遭施工破坏 州环保厅下达停工令后工人仍返工引调查
纽约州纽约县纽约市消息：据《纽约邮报》10月30日报道，曼哈顿上西区一处水塔上的仓鸮巢本周遭施工工人破坏，尽管州环保厅已下达停工令，工人10月30日仍返回屋顶继续施工，引发州政府调查与观鸟界愤怒。
这处位于西75街与中央公园西交汇处一栋公寓楼顶水塔上的巢，是曼哈顿中央公园以外有记录以来的首个仓鸮巢，5只幼鸟与亲鸟本月早些时候入住后已成为当地名角。施工队在拆除水塔时首次破坏鸟巢，州环保厅警察随即下令停工以调查可能的违法行为，因为破坏正在使用的仓鸮巢违反州法律。
10月30日，工人在停工令下达仅数小时后再次登上屋顶，州参议员埃里克·博特彻等人敲门要求停工未果，直至州环保厅于中午12时30分将施工队撤离现场，并向业主送达停工令。5只幼鸟与亲鸟在首次破坏后幸存并返回原址，专家担心第二次破坏将严重影响其健康。纽约马拉松主办方出于谨慎，取消了中央公园上空的无人机表演。

New York: Barn Owl Nest on Upper West Side Water Tower Destroyed Despite Stop-Work Order, State Probe Launched
New York, New York County, New York — A barn owl nest on a water tower on Manhattan's Upper West Side was destroyed by construction workers this week, and crews returned to the roof on Oct. 30 despite a state stop-work order, sparking a state investigation and outrage among birders, the New York Post reported.
The nest, on a rooftop water tower at West 75th Street and Central Park West, was the first barn owl nest ever recorded in Manhattan outside Central Park. Five fledglings and their parents had become local celebrities since moving in earlier this month. Workers first damaged the nest while dismantling the water tower, prompting Department of Environmental Conservation police to order a halt to investigate possible violations, as destroying an active barn owl nest is illegal under state law.
On Oct. 30, hours after the stop order, workers climbed back onto the roof. State Sen. Erik Bottcher and others banged on the building's entrance demanding a halt, but work continued until the DEC evacuated the crew at 12:30 p.m. and served the owner with a cease-and-desist order. The owls survived the first incident and returned, but experts fear the second disturbance could seriously harm their health. Out of caution, the New York Road Runners canceled a planned drone show over Central Park.
