I was walking across the Queensboro Bridge in June 19 (it links Manhattan to Queens in New York City). During my walk, I saw what I thought was a hawk, and took this picture with my Nikon D40 DLSR camera. Sadly, I didn't have much of a zoom lens on it.
I assumed the bird was a hawk. When I sat down to write an article about the picture the other day, I decided to double check that. Upon further inspection and research, I came to the conclusion that the bird is probably a falcon, not a hawk. Go figure. While there are some of both around NYC, there are not so many that I gave great thought to the differences between them. See my article, linked below, for a black and white version of the picture and some internal links to articles I haven't mentioned on Pixelfed.

(Good thing the pigeon in the previous photo I posted lived in Brooklyn...)
