Birds Gone Wild in New York - Peregrine Falcon on Bleecker Street


I was talking on the phone today when I saw this Peregrine Falcon swoop down at about 200 MPH and strike a pigeon in midair, then catch it in its' talons and land on the corner of the building across the street. I was able to snap a couple photos before it launched itself up Bleecker with the pigeon in it's grasp. Wow.

More about falcons in NYC.
