Just this year I've started noticing peregrines soaring over Grant Park from my window at work. It will take a lot more of them to make a dent in the downtown pigeon population, though.
Now all we need is something that eats geese. Maybe more coyotes? They could also help with the burgeoning bunny population in the city.
By the way, according to the Trib the city actually traps rabbits and releases them in the suburbs. Why bother? If you don't want to kill them (because I'm sure there are people who object to killing fluffy little bunnies, no matter how damaging or how populous) then please don't spend my tax dollars on such a pointless program.
