Awesome photo. Though, I was thrown off by the picture. In the US we often refer to vultures as buzzards and we would likely refer to this as a hawk. I'm not sure how we messed that one up.

Where I grew up had a ton of Red-tailed Hawks and the occasional Swallow-tailed Kites. I always love seeing and hearing them around.

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

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.

Glad to help! It actually brought back memories of playing around with some at my grandma's pool when I was a kid.

Missed that. Good catch.

I was thrown off since it's a weird place to be carrying one and typically used in pairs. They probably just grabbed some pool equipment and handed it to a character to add to the vacation feel of the scene.

Looks like water resistance training equipment.

Edit: Updated link. Thanks Otter!

The music lived up to the band’s name. Their songs are great, but I can feel really tense listening to them. Frankie Teardrop really encapsulates that feeling with the dark tale it tells, the screams, and droning music. Definitely recommend, but I can see it being off-putting to many.
