Large cities are near perfect hawk and falcon habitat. First there are tall buildings with roofs, ledges and other architectural structures that make perfect nesting and loafing places and there is usually a sufficiency of rats, squirrels, and flocks of birds like starlings, sparrows, and pigeons galore to feed the hawks. One reason people think that hawks are lacking in urban areas is that buildings limit a human's line of sight to the horizon but a hawk has none of these limitations because the hawk (let us say) has a birds' eye view.
