Before Night Falls

After checking out Inwood, I swung by Broadway Bridge to see if I could catch the peregrines hunting the starlings that roost on there.

Instead I witnessed the falcon race out,

in pursuit of a Cooper's hawk that was roosting across the River!

After overshooting the first dive, the falcon goes inverted here,



and almost catches the hawk out on the water. Instead, the Cooper's found refuge in a bush just next to me.

As the peregrine returned to her watchpost!
