Casie Gillette stopped to look at the hawk outside somebody's front door on Commonwealth Avenue in the Back Bay today.

Impressive! I've seen hawks perch on rooftops
in the city, but never on someone's wrought iron fence.

He practically has a rodent buffet right at his toes and doesn't look like he's missing many meals!

After a exhausting weekend with the election stuff, it's nice to see something simple like a cute bird on a fence.

Living in one of BU's brownstones, one of the girls who lived across the hall came into my room freaked out because there was a red-tailed hawk on her fire escape, eating a pigeon right outside her window. She was terrified of birds and wanted someone to come in and close her blinds so she wouldn't have to go near the window or see him.
I volunteered for the chance to get that close to a bird of prey. It was pretty cool.
