Peregrine at nest box
February 3, 2014 in In the Nest Box
The Peregrines are now being seen with a bit greater regularity as we approach the start of breeding season. The female has been seen around the nest box and perched in many of the normal locations around the Ayer Mill complex. Copulation activities are but weeks away!
Peregrine Falcon pair; back on territory!
January 17, 2014 in On the Clock Tower
What a joy, not only make a number of peregrine sightings on Friday afternoon, but then to finally see both peregrines together atop the clock tower…..first time in 2 months seeing them together! Hooray! They both took turns in some playful flight around the clock tower in wonderful late day sunlight. Then, so nice to watch the grace of a landing atop the ball that crowns the weathervane!

Female Peregrine up close
October 20, 2013 in Near the Clock Tower
A spectacular early morning visit with clear blue skies, brilliant sunshine and great looks at the female Peregrine. She had flown around the clock Tower a few times and then something caught her interest on the very SW corner rooftop of the Monarch Lofts apartment building. She then perched there for a while then lifted off and perched incredibly close on the west side top of the parking garage. Again, beautiful light and a magnificent looks at this amazing bird!

Peregrine in flight and then landing on weathervane!
October 9, 2013 in On the Clock Tower
Another beautiful morning visit with stunning sunlight and clear cobalt blue skies! Both peregrines were around the clock tower coming and going for about 30 minutes. After a variety of flight acrobatics, they then took a little time to perch together on the weathervane atop the clock tower. Both of the peregrines departed and then one returned to perch on the ball at the top of the weathervane. Photos posted of flight image, perched together image, and a series of peregrine approaching the ball!
