I see the pigeons fly in flocks to confuse it every single morning. But I'm certain that every day he (or she) manages to pick one off. The bird is beautiful, but it's still kind of sad to see those pigeons flying for their lives every day.

And I can see someone regularly perched on top of St. Agnes on Hoyt & Sackett. Too far away for me to ID though.

I live on Clinton and 4th place. I watched the hawk eat an entire bird perched on top of a pole exactly like the one in this video!! I didn't film because I was too busy looking through my binoculars. I've spotted this hawk in our back yard several time within the past year. So beautiful!
