I was driving down my alley yesterday and there in the middle of the alley was a peregrine falcon with its tallons embedded in a bird. The falcon was still in the process of killing the bird and was not about to fly away just because this big green thing was heading toward it.
I tried driving around her/him but was a bit afraid of pissing it off. She got a good hold on her prey and flew off.
A few years ago a was walking in the neighborhood and saw a falcon swoop and grab a pigeon on the fly. I thought that was astounding. I wonder if it is the same one.
