I'm writing a story, what do you think?

Jan 23, 2011 by Chris | Posted in Books & Authors

Night Owl is a story, similar in genre to Harry Potter and Twilight (only the good parts, hopefully).

Night Owl is the story of Jared Melendez, who has struggled with his life until he moves to Tonawanda, New York from Cleveland, Ohio.

Good as a children's story. I wouldn't tie things to actual peoples like the Native Americans. Make up a society like the Natives.

Question though, what is the theme to the story? So far its just a territorial fight? Why would that warrant

High atop Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, new NYC residents make a home

01.06.11

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y - High above the Narrows, gateway to New York Harbor, two of the Big City's newest residents have found a home.

Peregrine falcon chicks named "Rose," after the Staten Island community of Rosebank, and "Sunset," for Brooklyn's Sunset Park, have arrived in their aerie atop the 693-foot Brooklyn tower of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, according to the bridge's general manager Daniel DeCrescenzo.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) informs us that the birds are among nine peregrines, in three sets, that have lately hatched atop MTA spans. The other newcomers live on the Marine Parkway and Throgs Neck bridges.

Scientific taxonomists know the birds as " falco peregrinus ." The name means "wandering falcon." Peregrines don't actually wander all that much, but they are the world's most widely distributed bird of prey. The only land mass not covered with ice that the peregrine is entirely absent from is New Zealand.

Peregrines can weigh up to 3.3 pounds. They can grow to 23 inches in length (females are larger than males) and can attain a wingspan of nearly four feet. They mate for life, and, their "wandering" name aside, they return to the same nest year after year.
