Peregrine Falcon: Albany St., Boston, MA

October 15, 2017 in Peregrine Falcons Eastern Massachusetts, Peregrine Falcons Massachusetts

_W7I0923-001This female peregrine falcon was first observed while it was circling in flight over the access road off of SE Expressway while I was driving north.  With a little bit of extra time in the schedule, was thankfully able to divert and search the local area around Albany Street.  It was quite a treat to discover the perched falcon on a building security camera at the corner of the rooftop level! The seven story building is occupied National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) located at 620 Albany Street.  The peregrine was seen from outside the tight security fence surrounding the building.

It was a nice afternoon under partly sunny skies, Wind: SW 14MPH, 72F.
