The moment we stopped, she took flight diving over our heads and swooped down onto an unsuspecting pigeon that was scavenging on the sidewalk on Ave A.

The birds, however, can sense when they are there and stay away in droves (except once, and then I got to see one eating a fat pidgie on the branch from 5 feet away). Sometimes one sits in the tree and calls and calls until the other comes to join him/her, and to see them wheeling around in the sky above my building never fails to take me out of NY for a while. <br /><br />Great photos!Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-25705495599053271152010-12-10T02:00:47.077-05:002010-12-10T02:00:47.077-05:00I saw her last week, and it was quite something!
