I’ve had some bird of prey around my apartment in Brooklyn that keeps eluding me. I’ll hear it from time to time, but never quite know where it is.
I caught a glimpse of it once out of the corner of my eye. I saw a blur as something swooped down to snag a pigeon off my window sill. It was courteous enough to return half of the bird to my fire escape. That was fun to dispose of.
I saw my share of hawks growing up in Florida, but it’s still cool seeing and hearing them around the city.

Snagging pigeons off of ledges would point me toward Peregrine falcon, but it's far from definitive.

That’s a good possibility. It didn’t quite sound like a hawk, but I’m not too familiar with falcons.

That’s the most Keanu Reeves’s eating a sandwich on a park bench of Hawks that I have ever seen.

Wow that's amazing! Lost birdie.

For comparison, for sure a red tailed hawk. Looks the same to me.
That’s what Merlin Bird ID told me too, so I think you’re right! Just thought it was pretty awesome to see in the middle of this massive city! I could even get quite close.
