Popped out of the subway at Union Square East and 15th. Looked up and saw a large flock of Pigeon’s flying around. I am used to seeing lots of pigeons around the square, but to see this many in flight is unusual.
Then saw the Cooper’s Hawk chasing and trying to pick one off. It tried a few more times until it gave up.
