Another hawk rescued from another T station

Is Mother Nature trying to tell us something? Channel 7 reports a hawk was rescued from the Jackson Square stop on the Orange Line last night, about two months after a hawk was rescued from the Andrew stop on the Red Line. And let's not forget:

...they're not getting on in twos.

The MBTA would be the LAST place I'd want to be in a flood.

With all the snakes and pigeons and mice and rats, the hawks probably think they are heading into an indoor buffet.

I don't know that they've rescued these hawks so much as they've cut off their dining privileges.

that kind of depends. If the Audubon is involved, then they're definitely cutting off their dining privileges; if it's the MBTA, then it's rescuing the hawks from itself.

This sounds like the title of a short story for children.

a chapter in a Lehane novel. Followed by "Discovery on the Lynn Marsh Road."

I stared mesmerized at that hawk as I waited for the 41 bus last night.... such a beautiful bird, i've never seen a living one from such a close vantage before

I've seen quite a few of them near our offices in Newton. I'm not sure where they nest, but perhaps it's the really huge TV tower by Needham Street? I've also been able to enjoy them at relatively close distance while playing softball. Some of them nest in the light towers on Smith Field in Brighton, near Harvard Stadium. Quite thrilling.

I have to admit some of these hawks in the Jamaica Pond/Arboretum area are a bit bold. Really, do they need to stare in my window and piss off my cats?
