Anyway, just as I walked past an empty, weed strewn lot, a hawk swooped down and nailed a large rat. This was probably about 5 years ago. Glad to read the hawks haven’t been evicted, or found co-housing or something.

Then, a far larger hawk darted down from nowhere and engaged in a protracted, rolling, talon-bearing tussle with the original hawk.

I’m hoping that one of them will eat the pigeons I’ve got in my walls, too.

Covert and dastardly machinations involving ritualistic animal sacrifice…will people”s stop at nothing ?!
Poor Mandela is not yet cold in his grave and the blood-letting has begun.
What is it that is demand ? More google buses, free rent,? Please return upon the negotiating table…no more pigeons need to die !

are you using this as a sutble metaphor for what is happening in San Francisco ?
“Warch out for the techie-hawks…they’ll eat you poor pigeons alive!” Was this staged ?
What should we do about ? A rally in the Mission and down SOMA demanding this massacre be stopped immediately before the pigeon population is decimated or driven out of the city ?

You are cunning person…who do you really represent?

Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter cooperii). They are somewhat adaptable to urban environments due to their fondness for eating rock doves.
