Observation details
Walking through this dense residential neighborhood I heard an unfamiliar high fast chattering call at the corner of Crombie St. and Intervale Ave. Looking up I got a brief glimpse of a small chunky falcon (chunkier and less slender wings than a kestrel) before it disappeared from view behind a house just NW of that intersection. Around two minutes later, walking NW on Spring St. I heard it again and paused to look for it, and saw it fly into the top of a deciduous tree directly above me. As it landed, I got a brief clear glimpse (no binoculars) of multiple prominent black and white bands on the underside of the tail. At that moment a resident of a house on Spring St. (#38, I think) stepped out onto his porch and told me "that's a hawk; it has a nest with babies in that pine tree over there" [behind #34; actually a spruce or hemlock, not a pine]. He said he'd been observing these hawks for two or three months, and described witnessing the hawk catch a squirrel in the road. Calls very similar to the high fast calls in ML94959101. Audio recording (iPhone).
