New York's raptors, keeping our streets clean one pigeon at a time! If you didn't already have a soft spot our city's many hardcore hawks, perhaps these pictures and video of one happily devouring a winged rat pigeon in Madison Square Park will do the trick? Seriously, who needs Shake Shack when there is fresh squab flying around?
These mesmerizing and bloody photos and video were taken in Madison Square Park yesterday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. by two different passersby—can you blame them for stopping? The ravenous raptor certainly didn't seem to mind the gawkers. Now if only one of our hawks would oblige us with a photo op eating a giant rat and we'd have a surefire animal story of the year.

Yes, Stevie Wonder is playing MSG. No, you can't afford tickets. See these shows instead.
LCD Soundsystem also uses synthesizers. Ok, maybe not the same thing. But it's still a great month for music in NYC.
