Watching the Back Bay like a hawk

Hawk in the Back Bay

Jesse Haley noticed this hawk perched at Boylston and Arlington this morning, "attracting tourists and scattering squirrels."

Hawk vs Tourist

Meh...too bad he didn't attack some of the tourist. I'd give him a case of squirrels.

It is probably a peregrine

It is probably a peregrine falcon. Great picture!

Red-Tailed Hawk

Birds of Prey

We Welcome ...

our rodent-eating overlords!

a bird like this one was on

a bird like this one was on the church steeple above that traffic light on Sunday afternoon. The bird was just below the clock face on the east side of the steeple.

I occasionally see birds like these on the Commonwealth Avenue mall, hunting for pigeons. Once, a red-tailed hawk flew right by my shoulder as it chased a pigeon down Comm Ave. Pigeon got away that time.
