Kestrel in Harlem

[johnmdesigner]

I walked into my bedroom around noontime and spied a birds head peeking over the window ledge perched on the air conditioner. A beautiful young sparrowhawk. My window was open and I didn't want it to fly inside so I approached slowly until I realized he/she had disemboweled a sparrow on the cover of my new window air conditioner. Took their lunch and flew off.
Half hour spent cleaning up the gore and the missus in hysterics. Sure was a pretty bird though.
Not my picture. Not enough time to grab a camera. Still, amazing what you see in New York City.
