My pictures have run in the Providence Journal. What do you do with the photographs you’ve taken? Perching on buildings in Downtown Providence. The Peregrine Falcon that started it all. In the winter, they’re very hungry and there’s an unlimited supply of pigeons in the city. What are falcons and hawks doing in Downtown Providence? I felt like I had stepped into the Discovery Channel.Ī red-tailed hawk in Downtown Providence snacks on his lunch-fresh pigeon.
One day I ran into a red-tailed hawk right in Downtown Providence devouring a pigeon. And that inspired my love for urban raptors. One day I pulled out a telescope and looked up-it wasn’t a pigeon it was a Peregrine Falcon eating a pigeon. Peter: I moved to Downtown Providence in 2008, and out my window I noticed a pigeon flying up to the top of a bank building. Zipcar: Why did you start photographing raptors? Peter Green is a Zipster, a graphic designer, and a wildlife photographer. We recently took some time with Peter to get a bird’s eye view of his adventures. The plentiful supply of food provided by urban centers has given Peter Green, a Zipster in Providence, a new passion -photographing wildlife, right in the middle of the city. A decaying habitat and lack of food has driven more large birds like hawks and owls to fly south in search of prey. To a red-tailed hawk, the streets of Providence look like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
