p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Peregrine Falcon

A mating pair of Peregrine falcons live on the water tower at our local university. Each year they return to have their chicks, and a local raptor expert and his crew then band the chicks with identification bands. Today was that day, and the parents were flying around like crazy due to their young being displaced temporarily. Here are a few shots I was able to get. I can not believe how fast they fly.

Lovley set Russell. Possibly you can find it in some trees rather than the structure. The last is my pick

Unfortunately that structure is what they live on.

Falcons have adopted quite well to our urban environments.
