Urban Hawker

For the second time this winter and the third or maybe forth time in the last 7 months or so I have seen a hawk in my neighbor's backyard. An Urban Hawk if you will as this hawk has taken up residence in the City of St Louis. This morning was bitterly cold and as I walked about to check the temperature (7 degrees) I noticed feathers flying around on the ground. The feathers were from a pigeon that the hawk had decided looked tasty. The hawk was startled when it saw me and took refuge in a tree.

check it out...

did you skin that pigeon for its highly sought after cape?

I wanted to but I was afraid that I might contract West Nile. But then again the West Nile Pattern is pretty tight.
