Since this posting I have investigated further and believe that the bird pictured is in fact an American Kestrel – which are just as bad ass birds of prey. In fact their call sounds like they are saying Killy-Killy-Killy!
A reader sent us this awesome shot of a Peregrine Falcon spotted on McGuinness Blvd and Huron St! These badass birds are bird eaters – watch out pigeons – and they can reach speeds of over 200mph during their notorious a high speed dive to kill prey – making it the fastest animal! And it’s right here in Greenpoint!

one more correction – that’s casanova’s in the background – making it Green Street.
hilarious! i didn’t take the shot – the location was reported by the photog…
Shoot he is probably right. Before noticing the street I walked to greenpoint ave and then counted the streets backwards and tried to figure it out. I was really bummed that it wasnt Eagle street.
I saw a kestral near West and India last year. Here’s the pic: https://twitter.com/newworldreview1/status/239108502004592640
