GEOFF BOND

Greetings – Salutations

My name is Geoff Bond. I came to the Post Office & US Courthouse (POCH) in February 1989, 35 years ago, and spent a career at this facility. I am an amateur photographer that dabbles with the camera. Photography is a hobby I picked as a teenager. I never took classes. I am not a professional. Everything I have done to date has been from experience.

In the Fall 2021, two Red-Tailed hawks created a nest site atop the Post Office & US Courthouse (POCH), and have raised two clutches of young ones, to date. According to the National Aviary, a pair of hawks will return to their nest each year. Also, these two could possibly be the first Red-Tailed hawks to nest in downtown Pittsburgh for at least the last 20-30 years.

From March through June each year, 2022 and 2023, my early arrivals each morning and delayed departures in the evenings, along with my lunch breaks were utilized to observe and photograph these majestic birds. These viewings allowed me to create a portfolio that I share with you today. These photos of the hawks will be displayed in the Main Lobby for a period of time, after which I will replace with a series of miscellaneous pictures of athletics, landscapes, etc. I will then switch photos again and display a third set that I call, “The Birds, Bees and Butterflies”.

I hope that you enjoy the displays on your way to and from work, or on your visits to the building.

If anyone is interested in obtaining any of the photos, please email me at:MrBphoto.ops@gmail.com. I will be creating a website to view the photographs in the near future. Until then, email me. Please include the photo number at the lower left corner of each picture, if you can, and a brief description of the photo. I will get back to you as soon as possible. Enjoy!
