Wife and I were walking to the parking Garage at MUSC and saw this fellow making himself at home on the building. Right next door is a Urban Farm and a medicinal garden maybe this one finds mice/rats?

    Cool I've seen a demonstration of them hunting at the Birds of Prey place on Awendaw. Awesome hunters.

    Could be a hawk.
    In either case, their favorite snack will likely be mice & voles.  If you can catch it, Susie would probably like to borrow it.

    Peregrine Hawkle.

    I used to have one as a pet. I taught him to catch a small boy who short-cutted thru my lawn on his way to school every day. Eg always dropped him unharmed on the playground.

    His Parents passed out plenty of whippings to their "lying" child.


    I vote Peregrine Falcon. That is a 200 mph bird!

    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure it's a peregrine, as noted by others. They have adapted nicely to urban settings, where they reduce the pigeon and starling population quite efficiently.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    A Russian (Yandex) reverse image search engine, reports Peregrine Falcon !

    BTW, Yandex is now owned by Facebook !
