The Chattering clan recently pulled over to the side of Flatbush Avenue and ran out onto the sidewalk to get a better view of a large hawk sitting on top of a streetlight.

Here’s an inspiring blog running on the urban hawks of New York City featuring great photographs of celebrity hawks Pale Male and Lola, who may be sitting on a nest of hawk eggs near Central Park right now!
