Marie,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the information!<BR/><BR/>American Elm it is. I received an email on this last night and confirmed it with my copy of the Peterson Field Guide to Eastern Trees.<BR/><BR/>The deep notch (at the top of the photo) is consistent with American Elm (Ulmus Americana).<BR/><BR/>It was an amazing thing to see that many seeds blowing across our field of view.

y.,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the clarification for my notes.<BR/><BR/>Is the AXA Building the same as 9 West 57th. St. (Solow Building) or is it <A HREF="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.pfnyc.org/Web_News/General_Partnership/NYPOST_COM%2520Business%2520Real%2520Estate%2520DOWNTOWN%2520WAKE-UP%2520CALL%2520BUILDS%2520By%2520STEVE%2520CUOZZO_files/web04010338.jpg&imgrefurl=http://

Hey Ben, I was onsite yesterday from 645pm to 7pm. Male peregrine was observed circling the GM bldg and then landed on corner of AXA Bldg. Looked like he was waiting for the grackles to come back...I wonder if this is what prey he exchange with the female. <BR/>As for total nesting peregrines in nyc, my count is 14. I'll post pix later on my site http://yojimbot.blogspot.com

Don't know what happened to my first post. My ID for your seed, Ben, is American Elm, or, possibly, European Elm.
