Try working as a pigeon hunter in downtown St. Louis. 

 
FAIL!

From KSDK here:

A falcon soaring through downtown St. Louis made a rough landing Monday afternoon.

Drivers say it all started when the falcon swooped down after a pigeon.

“As I was approaching the light, he flew into the side of my van, then when I stopped he just walked up under,” said a driver on Tucker Boulevard.

The bird was able to get up and tried to take off, but then hit another van.

When police arrived on the scene, they stopped traffic until animal control arrived.  The falcon is being treated at the World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park.

Thanks to Fark for the story and the pointer to this other bird who had troubles getting things going.  Yoik and Away!  Bam!
