NYC Falcon

Was going to upload a photo of a hawk I saw in Flushing NY, but it's not working on my Tapatalk.

Kissena Park? Flushing Meadows? Stuck in traffic on Parsons Blvd?

Ah, the Peregrine. They are truly awesome. I just saw 3 bald eagles soaring over Broome County yesterday. It brings an old Bob Seger song to mind, "Roll Me Away".

This was randomly in my backyard yesterday on Long Island eating something it had caught. I have never seen one around here before.

Saw a bald eagle off of Penn ave in Binghamton the other day did a double take when I saw him. Usually see them down by the river but not that far from it. Also watched a Falcon today in Binghamton stalk a bunch of pigeons. He made a few passes over head and the pigeons got wise to him.

Heart of Flushing, one block from the Library. Right across the street from the new Target, BJ's etc. The 6 squirrels underneath didn't seem to mind it's presence.

Seen the one that hangs around Owl Head Park at Bay Ridge take down and consume a pigeon.

Are they still nesting on the security mutual building?

They're NYC squirrels. They're all like, " Ay yo Eagle, you come down here and there's gonna be some s**t, you know what I'm sayin'?"

They tried to introduce a couple of red tail hawks into Battery Park many years ago to combat the pigeons and rats. One of them got beat up by a pair of perigrine falcons that had a nest right off of water street. It survived and never bother those falcons again. I worked across the street from their nest at the time. Then one day, one of the hawks mistakened a lady's chihuahua for a rat and that ended the hawks program. The two hawks got relocated upstate.
