_W7I0739-001The peregrine chicks and adults were very active around the Ayer Mill Clock Tower late Monday afternoon.  The chicks were moving around non-stop and wing flapping with added energy.  The adults made a large number of aerial loops around the Clock Tower under mostly cloudy skies, winds from SW at 14MPH and gusts up to 21mPH, and temp at 89F!  The adults seemed to be in a playful mode and made a number of mock combat moves, but never making contact.
