（单词翻译）

 It’s also a prime hunting ground for red-tailed hawks1. And they have the perfect nesting site right next to it. They’d moved in on the top floor of this expensive Manhattan apartment block. It acts like a surrogate tree, supporting their large nest. Their high-rise residence also provides a perfect lookout2 and a launch pad for ambushing3 prey4.
