This morning the male peregrine was perched on a west facing ledge above the Clock Tower. Over the past few weeks, the male has been seen with regularity, but the unbounded female has been no where in sight. This time of year, they are normally seen in closer proximity to one another as the start of the breeding season gets ready to launch! Stay tuned!

The adult male peregrine is seen almost daily around the Ayer Mills Clock Tower in a variety of perch locations. This morning it was spotted from quite a distance, on the opposite side of the Merrimack River, on the north side of the Clock Tower on a ledge above and to the right of the clock face. This is one of the many regular perch locations around the Clock Tower.

Looked all over for the peregrines this morning only to find one of them in the west facing nest box. As we get closer to breeding season, it is normal to find them just hanging out in or just outside the nest box!

A late afternoon visit to the Clock Tower in Lawrence, under clear skies, light winds, and 30 degree temps, provided nice looks at one of the peregrines perched on the SE side of the tower just above the clock face.

Great looks this morning at of one of the Peregrines perched just below the iron roof railing that wraps around the NE corner of the Clock Tower!

What a treat to watch this pair of Peregrine Falcons as they playfully flew around the Ayer Mill Clock Tower and then landed and perched on the weathervane in beautiful late afternoon fall sunlight!

An afternoon visit to the Clock Tower provided a nice opportunity to watch one of the Peregrines singing from the weathervane!

An afternoon visit to the Ayer Mill Clock Tower under bright sun and blue skies provided nice views of one of the Lawrence Peregrines! The peregrine was just loafing and remained perched during course of twenty minute visit.

The female peregrine continues to perch in or near the Clock Tower nestbox. Late this afternoon as the clouds were starting to clear, she perched on the iron work above the west face of the Clock Tower. This location is unusual and a close look shows she has a tight grip on the railing to keep balance!

Just another moment of taking the bright and warming sunshine perched on a window ledge near the top of the Clock Tower on the south side!
