Incognito mode and/or clearing cookies makes short work of the Globe's paywall.

Someone else on UHub recently said he was going to spread this fact around so long as the Globe keeps littering his lawn with Globe Directs. I'm not him, but I like the idea, so there.

I believe that's a young red-tailed hawk (the tail turns red when they're older, and their eyes start out yellow).

What color do the eyes turn?

but it varies. Some adults retain the paler eyes of immature birds.

watch your back. This picture is sure to upset the Brookline Turkeys who seem determined to grab all feathered headlines.

Come out mad early in the morning on a clear day to Healy Field and watch them dive bomb the pigeons and crows. There is a slew of them living in the Arbs and vicinity. It's graceful - and nature - at its finest.
