Peregrine Falcon, female perched near nest

May 16, 2013 in Peregrines at 250 Canal St.

The female continues to keep close guard around the nest.  She has numerous nearby perch locations, this one being atop a utility pole at a low elevation providing a proximate photo opportunity!  In this sequence she was perched by the window opening, a nearby ledge, and then emerges from window opening offering a clear view of her black/green V/5  leg bands.
