In reply to Beverly Prentice. They do both; sometimes following the street grid, sometimes flying directly above the buildings. It is fascinating to watch them fly along the street. They have adapted to city life so well!

The hawks usually follow the streets and not over the buildings? I find this very interesting. I wonder why they don’t just fly straight to the park instead of zig zagging.

In reply to Craig. Thanks! I forgot to mention in the post that the Hawks often fly along/above the street and not always diagonally across building tops. So those arrows were displaying his actual flight path.

Goodness! What a sight in the sky w/ the Peregrine Falcon stretched to full capacity of wings Impressive.
Good to now , none of the magnificent large birds in the WSP are safe from cookery this Thanksgiving…
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Roger_Paw and to all the people following our Sadie and Juno family unit.

Right on. Juno’s holding down the fort. Thanks for the map; it was cool to see the hawks’ perches from that perspective.
