oh! the other day, near Queen St. W. and Close, I saw some sort of bird of prey chasing pigeons, harrying them, almost catching one before its energy ran out and it retired to a tree. it was rather small, surprisingly close in size to the pigeons. it had dark speckles on its breast and a barred tail. a young red-tailed hawk? or something else? probably impossible to tell without a good photo, i know.

On my way to get groceries, came across a juvenile pigeon outside Lucky Supermarket on Queen W.!
Thanks to that baby bird flowchart (https://wildlifecenter.org/help-advice/healthy-young-wildlife/if-you-find-baby-bird) I knew was a fledgling and its parents were likely close by, and indeed just as I was walking away a adult pigeon swooped down to check on it, and the fledgling began begging it for food. Good luck little buddy.
