  9. I was there in the viewing crowd at 12:45 today and we all saw a beautiful triple hit, plus one quick sally to a head on the other side of the street.

  10. I can also confirm a triple-hit manuever against a white male photographer on Thursday @ 12:19PM. The assailant had approached the roost to snap photos before being repelled by Swoops.

    At approximately 1:20PM, a pigeon fluttered down to the sidewalk, possibly coming in contact with a pedestrian. The crowd gasped at the site believing the pigeons who roost above Swoops' canopy were joining the fray.

    FWIW - I didn't stand watching Swoops for an hour straight today. Sure, I could have, but there was a lunch meeting between the triple-hit and the pigeon scare.

    I'm leaving SF Friday. Hopefully I'll get to see Swoops again before I go. The last three days have been delightful.

  11. @Ryan - I don't think anyone would blame you if you had watched Swoops for an hour straight. Well, I wouldn't have...
