Why do they perch so high? Is it pigeons? Or is the photo a clue?

Jack Meyer, on Blakeman's surprise that NYC redtails choose such high perches:

Reading John Blakeman's comment about the Red-tails' choice of high perches made me wonder if it is because the pigeons hereabouts also often use high rooftops. Has anyone ever seen them actually catch a pigeon on a high building?
