The Boathouse Row Hawk

Along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia 

is a popular path used for biking and running. 

It passes right along Boathouse Row and the Art Museum. 

It is an urban area 

so a wildlife encounter 

kind or surprised me! 

According to the local residents, 

this fellow is a regular. 

He hunts for critters in their gardens. 

He didn't catch anything 

while I watched, 

but it wasn't for lack of trying!
