 Nine new Peregrine Falcon chicks who  inhabit the Verrazano-Narrows, Throgs Neck, and Marine Parkway Bridges  were born in May. These feathered commuters are tracked by the MTA.

 On Morris Park Ave and Adams Street, a peacock perched itself atop a van and then under the Bronx River Parkway. The iridescent creature escaped from the Bronx Zoo, taking a page from the Bronx Zoo cobra's book.

 It was a slow-moving chase for the zoo bird who dipped from authorities for days.

 She might not have been able to be caught, but she did have enough time to be photographed by admirers.

 Anyone else wondering why this cop is staring the Bronx Zoo escapee instead of capturing her?

 One officer wasn't enough to catch the iridescent creature, but apparently neither was two ...

 This jailbird even took a walk on the wild side - right past the NYPD who were looking for her!

 The peahen defiantly perched atop a van for her first taste of freedom which was a funny sight for those around.
