BART contracts falconer to deter pigeons at El Cerrito del Norte Station

Harris hawks make an ideal raptor for this sort of work. They’re mellow birds, and the only social raptor in the animal planet. “In the wild, they live and hunt in family groups,” said Ortiz. “They’re known as ‘wolves of the sky.’”

    Whatever kind of hawks we have here in east texas also hunt in pairs, those fuckers just cruise around screaming at each other, or me, if I'm in what they consider their fields
