Default Boeing gives Chicago $10-million-not really



Do they have a lot of birds of prey in the greater Chicago area?


Lots of human birds of prey, but also a few peregrines - saw one on
top of a building across from my office window a number of years ago,
dining on fresh pigeon.

The bird hospital is for CFIT by birds into buildings - happens
frequently during migration season. Apparently birds often fly at
night and are blinded by the city lights.
