CLearly this falcon can be put to good use. Hypnotize it and it will do you evil bidding. No more commuting either.

So what happened with the bird? Saw two raccoons on the subway tracks in NYC (it was an elevated station) and a rooster, casually strolling the same platform.

Looks like a female -- possibly a peregrine falcon. They've made an amazing comeback, and when I was in a friend's backyard (in the Northeast) recently one wheeled right over us and into the nearest tree -- it apparently hangs out in the neighborhood.

It's really hard to ID with just those pics, and not being able to see it fly. I don't think it is a falcon, if it is it would probably be a Merlin. Probably just a red tailed hawk though. How big was it?

Looks like a red-tail hawk to me too. Are the colors accurately represented on the photo? We have two red-tail hawk near the office, they lend in the nearby pine trees, and have fairly loud conversations.
