Hawk in the Back Bay

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

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

It is probably a peregrine falcon. Great picture!

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.
