Peregrine pair!

February 28, 2013 in On the Clock Tower

Another late afternoon visit to the Clock Tower and upon arrival was able to observe both Peregrines atop the weathervane with one on the bow and the other on the stern of the weathervane viking ship.  Alwyas nice to see them hanging out together.  After a bit the female moved to the perch on the nest box and then to the top of a nearby utility pole.  The utility pole provided a much closer view in very late afternoon light.  Thanks to the proximity, the V/5 leg bands were visible with the “5” very clear.  These close up moments are truly special!
