Birds of Prey: the hunters become the hunted

i love the falcons in chicago. i saw one land right behind our apartment about 5 minutes before i was due to have a pipe lesson...almost missed the start cos it was so cool to be looking at a falcon less than 10 feet away. i also took a picture of one with my now dead cellphone in uptown when i was waiting for the bus. it was tearing apart the remains of a pigeon and paid no mind to me as i came up on it to take a picture...they are AWESOME! just thought i'd share. ;)

That's pretty cool
Thanks for sharing.

Another of my "cool moments" was back in the 80's, again on I-5 in my old '69 Buick, I had an Osprey come up over the freeway from a nearby river clutching a fish in his talons. He was only about 8 feet above me. I've never forgotten that sight!

The other (not so cool moment) was late one night riding home on my Harley I nearly got knocked off the bike by a big white owl swooping across the road to a field!!
