hawks
An office etiquette question
Michael Burstein wonders:
When is it appropriate to interrupt a meeting at work to alert your co-workers to the presence of a red-tailed hawk?
Burstein found what seemed like an appropriate moment and so everybody broke for a few minutes and he took some photos of the hawk perched on the ledge outside their conference room nine stories above Copley Square today.

A-Rod Jr. not first Fenway hawk victim
Joy of Sox relays an account from somebody who'd been leading a tour at Fenway Park two days ago:
... At first I wasn't sure what it was, but I looked and saw the hawk flying away. I put my hand up to the back of my head and when I pulled it away - a pool of blood in my hand. ...

Who knows? Maybe even the one that attacked A-Rod Jr. Dave Daniels has been photographing the bird hanging out on his fire escape in the Fenway.

Do hawks eat turkeys?
If so, there's at least one in Roxbury that would love Brookline:
... Over my head I note a commotion of frantic wings, then feel the unmistakable and powerful whoosh of a wingspan on my left cheek.
I look up to see tufts of white feathers raining down on me and the hawk, pigeon still writhing in its grasp. ...
Fast food on Causeway Street
Jesse Haley takes photos of a hawk making quick work of a pigeon:
Walked by the Burger King across the street from the Boston Garden and a flurry of pigeon feathers fell from above. I looked up and this hawk was devouring a very unfortunate pigeon.
Grisly - but that's life, right?

Fine dining in Kendall Square
... [Reed Sturtevant] was walking to lunch in the square yesterday with another former Lotus legend, Bob Frankston, when an unusual sight stopped them in their tracks. As Sturtevant described it: "a hawk eating a pigeon in the middle of the sidewalk while about a dozen people stood around and watched. Bob had his camera and took this pic."
Squab on the menu in Porter Square today
Ana went out to run some errands today and came back with some video of a hawk eating a pigeon atop a transformer on a Porter Square utility pole. Yum.
Ed. pigeon note: I ate pigeon once, in a Catalan restaurant in Washington, Yep, the menu said "pigeon" rather than "squab." It tasted like chicken (hah), only a lot greasier and tinier.
