Thanks Dan for the heads up on the Peregrine, I saw it on the 29th on the upper floor of the Faust at 2:00 p.m., came back at 4:00 and it was on the radio tower. Today, same time it was again sitting on the top of the tower. I was able to get some pictures but lighting not that great so I’ll try again with some sun possibly next week. Nevertheless, thanks for helping me with a life bird, much appreciated.

The adult Peregrine was perched on the communications tower which is just S of the Shumway Market, across the street from the Faust, this afternoon (1/28) at 4:30 p.m. I suspect that afternoon is the best time to look for the bird in this neighborhood. It was not in sight this morning around 9:15 a.m.

Today (Wednesday) there was a Peregrine perched on a top floor window sill of the Faust Landmark building at 630 E. State Street. The window was a center one on the Market St. side of the building. I first saw it at 2:00, and it was still in the same spot, facing the window, at 2:30.
